About Wave Lamp
Wave is a decorative lamp made of plastic wavy rings held together by steel rods. Seen from the side, each ring resembles the infinity sign, with an undulating movement that has no beginning and no end. The lamp is produced in different sizes and versions, including floor, table and ceiling models. When lit, the rings reflect the light and create a chiaroscuro effect that gives a sense of depth. When switched off, the lamp appears dense and sculptural. Several units can be combined to form large light structures or chandeliers.
