Amax is a pendant lamp that enlarges a lampshade form into a suspended polyethylene diffuser.
A chromed metal frame, steel suspension and fabric-covered power cable support the shade. Four sizes use one or three E26 bulbs according to the version. The light is dimmable, and larger versions have a lower disc that screens the light sources from below.
