GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The VL45 is a pendant lamp that offers soft, diffused light , thanks to a hand-blown, triple-layer opal glass diffuser .

The design is based on a spherical shape slightly flattened at the top and bottom, with a simple but refined structure , where:

• the translucency of the glass produces a uniform and welcoming lighting

• The top brass metal detail adds a warm and noble touch

The VL45 is perfect for single or series use , above tables, peninsulas, reception desks or reading corners.
