Spirito Table Lamp

Spirito

Spirito is a table lamp inspired by the glass ball used in spiritualistic rituals. The lamp has the stylized silhouette of a classic table lamp and is made of transparent blown glass with a gradient coating. The LED light source is placed in the base and directs the light upward, so the upper shade glows without visible wires or metal supports.
