Moebe wall hook

In small items

It's easy to add chrome and steel to interiors in small doses, particularly if your decor already features the two shiny materials. The Moebe wall hooks bring a touch of luxury to your bathroom or hallway. In smaller bathrooms, it's good to choose the same material for hooks, faucets, and other details to keep the overall look calm and collected.

Gubi Multi-Lite pendant

Lights and shadows

Gubi's Multi-Lite pendant is a classic designed by Louis Weisdorf in 1972. Its metal surface beautifully reflects light and shadows, creating an ambiance in any room. Thanks to its rotatable shade, the pendant lamp can be used for both ambient and general lighting. In other words, you get several lamps for the price of one!
