The kindness of what is simple
TMC is the dressed up version of the TM family, and features a chrome shaft. Chrome-plated metal structure in the upper part and black in the lower part. Height adjustable white methacrylate shade. The light is switched on and off by softly pulling down the cable.
The up-down shade system is no longer based on a succession of holes where the clamping handle was inserted. Now the upper shaft is continuous and its height is regulated by means of a mechanical system that allows smoother adjustment.
