The Brothers Castiglioni created some of the most iconic and lasting designs of the 1960s and 1970s. The Balum lamp shown in Different Tendencies is presented in a rare orange lacquered finish. The surprisingly large scale lamp, which can be affixed to a wall or ceiling, creates a feeling of a glowing orb floating in space.
