The Oskar Table Lamp is a typical but highly usable Ingo Maurer lamp. The built-in book support function makes the lamp ideal for placing on the shelf right next to the reading chair or use it on the desk, again as a book support where your most important books or notebooks can lean against it. Remember to control the lamp head with the pole as the Halogen light source can make the head hot, otherwise the LED version may be an option. Please note! The lamp is not black, but aluminum like the base. This is best seen in image 3. These lights must be special ordered as they are produced in limited series, so expect a delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
