1974, Valenti made the famous slogan, "Concrete reality with the Hebi light." Finally an object capable of taking on the forms required by the user, who from being a simple onlooker thereby becomes a protagonist of the object's shape. The light was created by the Japanese designer Isao Hosoe, in 1970. It continues to astonish in terms of its apparent simplicity and poetic impetus. It earned itself a place in the collective imagination of those years with the painting by Milo.Manara.
Intended to be used as a table lamp but also makes a stylish desk lamp as well. Includes a complimentary 40W light bulb.
