Optical illusion of light and metal

One of the most interesting features of the Miss K lamp is its ability to change its appearance depending on whether it is lit or off. Thanks to a special high-vacuum aluminisation technology, the shade looks like mirror metal when switched off, creating a luxurious impression. When lit, however, this metal layer becomes transparent and reveals the inner diffuser, creating an impressive visual effect and optical illusion that takes the viewer by surprise.
