The Polaris is one of several lamps Superstudio contributed to Poltronova founder Sergio Camilli ’s Design Centre collection. Rooted in a marble base, three chromed stems rise and branch to support spherical glass diffusers. The glass orbs—influenced by the Bauhaus—came in either white or blue, with the former offered in Different Tendencies.
