This iconic piece of post-war French industrial design was intended for professionals—architects, draftsmen, workshops, laboratories, and technical offices.This model features a highly refined construction, consisting of a weighted rectangular base, a tubular vertical stem, and a long articulated arm that allows for precise positioning of the light source.The piece is enhanced by a stunning hammered almond-green finish—characteristic of certain SolR productions—complemented by chrome-plated metal elements.The upper section features the remarkable wide-domed reflector typical of Solère’s design language, housing an opaline diffuser that provides soft, task-appropriate lighting.Its silhouette—at once technical and elegant—reflects Ferdinand Solère’s quest to design lighting that was lightweight, maneuverable, and highly functional, while also possessing a distinct aesthetic identity.Ferdinand Solère and SOLR lighting
