Black and yellow floor lamp in the style of Memphis by Piotr Sierakowski for Koch and Lowy. Tall on its tripod legs and three bold, cartoon feet, it is a playful design that asserts its place in room. It casts a vast light, dimmable by the ball switch on the shade. A bright demonstration of American's reflection on Italian Memphis Milano style.
