Glo-Ball Basic 2 Table Lamp - Flos

Concept

The Glo-Ball is the archetypal representation of the luminous sphere : simple, pure, with a satin surface that diffuses light evenly and softly . Morrison eliminates the superfluous, following the principle of “ super-normal design ”: unobtrusive, but perfectly designed to be used every day, for decades.

The Basic 2 model is the largest of the table series , ideal for placing on low surfaces, such as coffee tables, storage units, lounge corners or spacious bedrooms.
