Table lamp - Space Age -1970s - Metal

Space Age Adjustable Table Lamp – Orange Lacquered Metal – 1970s In excellent condition – No reserve. A striking and highly decorative Space Age table lamp, executed in vibrant orange lacquered metal with a sculptural, architectural composition. This piece perfectly captures the bold optimism and futuristic aesthetic of the 1970s, where form and function merge into a dynamic visual statement. The design is defined by its spherical shade, elegantly balanced on a chrome-plated stem with an adjustable horizontal arm. The central pivot joint allows for directional lighting, making it both a practical reading lamp and a true design object. The glossy orange finish contrasts beautifully with the brushed metal structure and black detailing, creating a strong visual presence. The hemispherical shade provides a warm, atmospheric light when lit, enhancing its retro character and making it an eye-catching addition to any modern, vintage, or eclectic interior. Such lamps were often produced in Italy and Germany during the Space Age period, reflecting the influence of futuristic design, the atomic era, and the emerging modernist interiors of the time. Condition: In excellent vintage condition. Light signs of use consistent with age, including minimal surface wear. No dents or structural issues. The lacquer retains a strong gloss and color intensity. Technical details: On/off switch integrated in the cord Small screw fitting (E14) Dimensions: Height: 46 cm Width (approx., arm extended): ± 40 cm Base diameter: 17.5 cm Electrical cord length: approx. 170 cm Weight: Approx. 1,5 kg A bold and highly collectible Space Age design piece – both functional and a true eye-catcher in any interior. Disclaimer: Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use.
