Made of glass flowing with charismatic geometric patterns that include black and white stripes and polka-dots, the Cicero Table Lamp has an elegant profile. The process that glass artisans use to realize the interplay of colors and shapes is hard-won, as it involves melding three layers of glass in black, white, and clear frosted. Steel hardware in a polished brass finish gleams, as do the finial that fastens the black shantung shade to the lamp and its base, both made of optic crystal.
