Metafora Table Lamp
The FontanaArte Metafora table lamp by Umberto Riva pairs a broad opal glass shade with a transparent, tapered glass base.
Its visible metal supports form an intricate structure within the glass, giving the lamp an architectural character. The white shade spreads diffused light, while the included dimmer allows its brightness to be adjusted.
