White Samurai Floor Lamp by Shigeaki Asahara for Stilnovo, 1970s

White Samurai is an impressive floor lamp by Japanese designer Shigeaki Asahara for Italian lighting manufacturer Stilnovo. The height of this halogen floor lamp is adjustable with a maximum height of 2 meters. The dimmer is subtly incorporated in the counterpoise.

The condition of the lamp is good. Where the upper side touches the underside of the lamp when it is fully bent over, some minor damage can be observed. The top part which contains the halogen lamp is slightly discoloured, it now tends towards off-white. On the pictures this effect is more present than in reality.
