MG Hong Kong - Desk lamp - Plastic - Bicolor , Tested

MG Hong Kong — Space Age Adjustable Desk Lamp, 1970s Original vintage desk lamp produced by MG Hong Kong during the height of the 1970s Space Age design era. The piece features a compact geometric construction defined by a strong chromatic contrast between the mustard yellow / vintage ivory body, the vivid red upper panel, and the satin metal articulated structure. The overall aesthetic reflects the industrial-pop design language of the mid-1970s, with clear influences from Asian modern domestic design production of the period. The adjustable head and double-jointed arm allow multiple lighting positions, making the lamp both functional and highly decorative. Particularly interesting is the cylindrical-conical diffuser, with its distinctly futuristic silhouette, combined with the inclined base featuring an integrated switch and dual light intensity selection. When illuminated, the lamp emits a warm atmospheric light, ideal for desks, studios, bookshelves, or Mid-Century Modern, Pop Design, and Space Age interiors. Condition: Original vintage item and fully functional. The lamp shows normal signs of age and use consistent with its period, including light surface wear, minor traces of use, and small structural and cosmetic imperfections consistent with decades of preservation, all visible in the photographs, which form an integral part of the description. Electrical system working correctly with two selectable light intensities. Technical details: Brand: MG Hong Kong Period: 1970s Type: Adjustable desk lamp Materials: Plastic and metal Colours: Mustard yellow / vintage ivory, red, satin metal Maximum extended height: 37 cm Width: 8 cm Depth: 13 cm Weight: 670 g Fully functional Two light intensities The item offered is original, vintage, and pre-owned, and is described accurately and in good faith. Before listing, the item is carefully cleaned, tested, and documented with detailed photographs. All functions mentioned in the description are tested and verified and are tested again before shipment as a final quality check. Photographs form an integral part of the description and accurately represent the condition of the item at the time of listing. As this is a vintage item, minor signs of age and normal wear are to be expected and are consistent with its age. Colours may vary slightly due to lighting conditions and screen settings. The item will be professionally packed using protective materials, and double-boxed where appropriate. Shipping is tracked and insured. The item is handed over to the carrier in the same condition as documented prior to dispatch. In the unfortunate case of damage during transport, the buyer is invited to follow Catawiki’s guidelines in a timely manner. The buyer is responsible for providing a correct shipping address and for collecting the parcel within the carrier’s specified timeframe. In case of non-collection, refusal of delivery, or incorrect address, Catawiki’s applicable procedures and conditions will apply. This is a vintage electric item. Due to its age and original components, slight variations in performance, accuracy, or behaviour may occur over time, even if fully functional at the time of testing. By placing a bid, the buyer confirms that they have carefully read the description and reviewed all images.
