FontanaArte - Volée medium table lamp grey 

Volée is a state-of-the-art LED luminaire in which formal research meets technological innovation. Characterized by an essential design, it turns on with an almost tennis gesture: a simple movement of the hand under the head activates an electronic device that turns on and off the lamp without being touched. A touch sensor on top of the head allows for adjustment of the luminous flux to four different intensity levels (40%, 60%, 100%, 0%). A Time Out system automatically turns off the lamp after 5 hours of operation. The balance mechanisms, with hidden spring, are tensioned by steel rods that allow, with a fluid movement, to orient the light as desired. Volée is suitable for any type of environment, both modern and traditional.
