The Treetops is a slim, sculptural floor lamp designed in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass for the debut Memphis Milano collection. It is celebrated for its dynamic, zoomorphic appearance, often compared to a bird or a tree bending in the wind. 


Design and Symbolism

The lamp's structure is an abstract, metaphorical representation of a tree: 

  • Base: A solid green wedge of cast iron representing roots.

  • Trunk: A tall, slender arc made of painted metal, typically in orange or red.

  • Head: A colorful, conical top that serves as the "foliage". It is adjustable, allowing you to direct the light with precision. 


Technical Details

  • Dimensions: It stands at a significant height of 195 cm (approx. 76.8 inches).

  • Lighting: It traditionally uses a 300W halogen bulb, though modern versions are often equipped with dimmable LED R7s light sources.

  • Material: Built from enameled steel, aluminum, and chrome-plated brass
