Iren was right about this lamp’s uniqueness! The Tommaso Barbi Cobra is a stunning statement piece. The ceramic feels substantial and well-crafted, though quite heavy. At 88cm tall, it dominates my side table but adds incredible vintage Italian charm. The snake design is artfully done, not cheesy. Pricey at $1750, but for authentic 1970s craftsmanship, it’s worth it.
