OKA's curved metalwork and antique brass finish read as considered rather than decorative—this is a lamp with architectural presence. The traditional proportions and warm metal tone work particularly well in period properties or spaces layered with vintage finds, though it's equally at home beside modern artwork where it grounds a scheme. Best positioned flanking a mirror or console table to cast ambient light without glare. Note: the brass will develop a natural patina over time, which many prefer, though you can maintain shine with occasional polishing.
