The Minitopo table lampMinitopo signed Stilnovo is a fascinating automotive-inspired object: the slits in the shell recall the air intakes of 1960s sports cars, while the shape of the lampshade matches the envelope of the classic E27 bulb housed inside, like a body on the underlying engine. The resultingshape is reminiscent of a mouse. The light from the Minitopo table lamp can be freely directed by the black handle on the reflector. Available in a range of colours, Minitopo is perfect for a desk or bedside table.
