Description from the seller
Pair of Space Age Table Lamps – Italian Production – 1960s–1970s
Attributed to LAM, Milan
Refined and highly dramatic pair of Space Age table lamps, traceable to top‑level Italian production, attributable by style, materials and construction solutions to the LAM workshop, Milan, active in the avant-garde design landscape from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.
The lamps stand out with an iconic, oval-shaped volume design, strongly evocative of the era's futuristic aesthetics, in which formal exploration, material innovation, and Italian artisanal quality achieve a balance of great elegance.
⸻
Materials and construction
• White satin glass upper dome, premium diffuser that guarantees a soft, uniform, and refined light
• Lower body made of colored acrylic, thin, light, and finely crafted, of excellent quality, perfectly in keeping with the finest Italian Space Age productions
• Satin central fascia with exposed screws, a distinctive element both structurally and aesthetically.
• Lower base made of painted metal, solid and well-proportioned
• Original and functioning electrical components
The overall design yields an object of great visual balance, elegant both when it is off and when it is on.
⸻
Dimensions
Height: 28 cm
• Diameter: about 21 cm
⸻
Lighting effect and functionality
The lamps offer excellent light output, capable of effectively illuminating the environment.
With the bodies made of colored acrylic mounted, the light is filtered and colors the space, creating an enveloping and highly scenographic atmosphere (warm, intense tones in the red model, cooler and deeper tones in the blue model).
The acrylic elements are simply placed and easily removable: once removed, the light becomes more neutral and direct, while still maintaining an elegant diffusion thanks to the satin-glass dome.
This dual configuration makes the lamps particularly versatile and suitable for both high-end vintage interiors and contemporary spaces.
⸻
Condition
The lamps are in exceptional condition.
Even though these are vintage items, they are practically like new:
• complete absence of scratches or signs of wear
• perfectly glossy and intact surfaces
• frosted glass in impeccable condition
The condition suggests long-term storage in its box, or extremely limited use—a rare circumstance for objects from this period.
⸻
Period
The 1960s–1970s, with a particular affinity for Italian production from the late 1960s.
