Our model, distinguished by its narrow base and elongated shaft, was only produced between 1933 and 1939, unlike the second version of this floor lamp, which was manufactured until the 1980s.

To date, only three examples of this version have been referenced by the Alberto Giacometti Foundation, including our floor lamp.
