Mouth—blown white crystal glass shade is supported by a shiny polished chrome pedestal. The integrated dimmer is activated by turning a wenge wood rod. The power feed is made of cloth covered coloured wire.

Bill table lamp. Design by Tobias Grau
The table lamp BILL is a classic two-armed articulated lamp. It comes as a choice between a medium-voltage halogen lamp with a round head and an energy-saving lamp with a lengthwise head. The lamp stands out due to its high and easy flexibility and due to the possibility of adjusting the lamp head to the user's needs. Thus the lamp's handle can be repositioned by a simple movement of the hand from the left side to the right. The lamp's position on the table as well as its operation by right-handlers and left-handlers can therefore be freely selected. The lamp head is embedded in a spherical joint and thus easily adjustable. The minimized shape style and the reserved design create the lamp's timeless character. The spring mechanism is hidden in the aluminium casing. The on-off switch is located directly on the lamp's handle constituting a marked sign to recognize it by.

Zac Design by Frank Oehring
Created by Berlin designer-artist Frank Oehring, Anta's Zac table lamp defines adjustability. A 7-millimeter fluorescent tube sends light through apertures in the satin-chrome table lamp, forming soft ribbons of glow.

Gaspere table lamp. Design by Carsten Gollnick
As elegant as the Great Blue Heron. The Gaspare table lamp has a swingable, rotating head with an installed transformer with dimmer. The metal parts are matt chrome and the shade is bone china porcelain. The lamp balances on a wooden base available in black pickled oak, natural oak or walnut.

GOCreated for workstations, the contemporary table lamp GO is intended to go unnoticed. The lamp head employs glare reducers, and the base is steel, with end caps available in clear, silver, and a distinctly noticeable orange.
