Icon, icon, icon and, besides, a very functional desk lamp, because its arm can be modeled in practically every direction and in every way, which we tried to show in the pictures.
Preserved in very good natural condition, with a few small scratches on the metal shade + dirt (photo).
A heavily loaded, rubber-coated base gives a solid base, so there is no need to break, just bend the arm at will. The lamp will not tip over. Such is her charm. The discreet charm of the lamp.
Signed on the bottom (photo).
Hebi is the Japanese word for snake. The flexible metal tube that is the arm of the lamp is covered with plastic and can be twisted in any direction, as well as the lampshade. Lamp with unlimited position flexibility.
It uses in its construction popular materials for everyday “construction” use, such as PVC pipe, usually used in wall recesses to route electric cables.
