Table Lamp "GLIT"

This table lamp is made by the Icelandic pottery manufacturer "GLIT" and was made around the 1970s.

Its defining feature is its rugged, spiky texture, and this roughness is expressed by using crushed actual volcanic rock.

This is a work that can only be found in Iceland, a volcanic country.

*The shade is relatively new.

*The outlets have been replaced with Japanese standard ones.
