Fascinated by the mystery and power of the Zulu people, Jette Scheib was inspired by the shape of the African shield. It represents at the same time a symbol, a protection, and an ornament. The strong image of this armor strikes the imagination. The design of the sign indicates the identity of the tribe and contributes to group cohesion. The white and black graphics of Shield emphasize the straightness of the Zulu shields.
Designed to dress your headboards or walls, this wall lamp diffuses a beautiful indirect light in an original way, forming a halo of light around the lampshade, to illuminate a surface.The electrical outlet is offset from its point of attachment, while the lampshade is enhanced by a lacquered steel cone, reminding the African character of the Zulu shield.
