Cactus is a lantern characterized by a textured surface created by a very thin steel sheet which, in volume, reveals an openwork pattern. The production process is chemical etching, a technique allowing extremely thin details and serial production.
The lantern is produced and sold as a kit including an unfolded sheet of steel and a support allowing easy transport and assembly.
By lifting the steel cone, it is simple to access the candle to light it or blow it. Cactus creates a romantic mood on your balcony or patio.
