Uovo Table Lamp
The FontanaArte Uovo table lamp by Ben Swildens turns an egg-shaped shell into a glowing glass object.
White satin blown glass surrounds the light source, rising from a discreet painted metal base. Small, medium and large versions share the same gently asymmetric form, with diffused, dimmable illumination that reveals the smooth curve of the glass.
Every detail, considered.
