Details & Materials

A single genuine ostrich egg, large and prominent, gives this table lamp its character. Small drill holes scatter its light softly across a nightstand or desk, warm enough for the last hour of the evening. The metal base beneath it was hand made in South Africa in 1985, with hand tools and painstaking precision.

The lamp takes a 25 watt transparent bulb.
