A top design classic; the 'Telegono' table lamp designed by Vico Magistretti in the 1960s for Artemide.
 
This rarer version has a storage space at the bottom for writing material and the like. The round sphere in plastic ensures that the light is spread in a pleasant way._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_Because of this rotatable hood, you can also choose to show the light source directly or indirectly. 
 
Precisely because of the use of plastic, these white caps often have to deal with discolouration due to the passage of time and/or the use of lamps with too strong a wattage. Unfortunately, both the hood and sorting bin at the bottom of this copy also have to do with this. The black part is in (very) beautiful vintage condition.
 
This design lamp has a justified & honorable mention in the design bible '1000 Lights' door Charlotte & Peter Fiell for Taschen
