Oluce - Recuerdo suspension lamp

Recuerdo, design by Mariana Pellegrino Soto, is part of a round solid in transparent glass, with an elegant crystal matelassé or quilted effect, inside which the LED light source is protected by a frosted glass cylinder, creating plays of light and reflections inside the space. Recuerdo includes a single suspension lamp version and a table lamp, where the sphere is supported by a chrome metal disc.
