Two offset cylinders are better than two aligned cylinders, and the reason lies more in the light than in the design. Aligned, they would create two parallel and predictable columns; offset, they produce four arcs that do not echo each other, and the wall gains relief in the evening. The square version of the same idea is called Quad 2: it cuts out triangles where this one draws arcs. At 26 cm wide, both can stand alone above a console or a sofa.
