Did you know that ‘Hebi’ translates to ‘Snake’ in Japanese? This little lamp can twist in every direction, which allows you to shed light any which where you please- even the shade rotates. Created in 1970, this lamp is one of the many icons of 20th century design. It holds a rightful place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Flexible metal tube covered in PVC.
Size: ca. 3.5″ Diameter lamp shade x 19.68″ long fully extended.
