Know before you buy
The Cesta Metálica maintains the iconic silhouette of the 1962 original but replaces the traditional cherry wood with a sleek, industrial stainless steel frame. This update offers a more contemporary, minimalist aesthetic that fits seamlessly into modern or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.
The lamp requires one E26 60W maximum incandescent bulb, which is typically not included. We recommend using a dimmable LED equivalent to take full advantage of the built-in dimmer switch.
The leather handle is purely aesthetic and optional. It adds a tactile, artisanal touch to the design, but the lamp is fully functional and structurally complete without it.
Yes, the lamp features a built-in dimmer, allowing you to easily customize the intensity of the light to suit your preferred ambiance.
The opal glass shade acts as a diffuser, softening the light output to create a warm, glare-free, and inviting glow. It is specifically designed to cast an intimate ambiance rather than providing harsh task lighting.
Yes, the Cesta Metálica is UL listed, meaning it has been tested and certified to meet the safety standards required for electrical products in the United States.
