The Torso Table Lamp is a collaborative effort where MENU designed the lamp, the Milanese textile house '[Dedar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/west-chelsea-apartment)' designed the lampshade and tactile parts of the lamp, and the design of the lamp was inspired by the atmosphere at 'The Audio.' The lamp itself features a brass dimmer that can be controlled simply by tapping the lamp. This allows the lamp to have a [minimalist, chic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mute-lamp) as it does not have protruding buttons or knobs. Additionally, the lampshade has a geometric design full of muted colors such as tan and beige that give the lamp a modern luxury feel. The Torso Table Lamp can be purchased online at MENU's design store for $639.95 USD.
