Description from the seller
During the 1960s and 1970s, on hot summer days across Eastern Europe, it was common to find street vendors serving sparkling water from large soda dispensers. For a small extra charge, customers could add fruit syrup to create a refreshing soft drink. Similar carbonation technology was also used at home in reusable soda siphons powered by small CO₂ cartridges.
Now you can bring a piece of that bygone era into your home with this unique table lamp, handcrafted from an authentic vintage soda siphon. In place of the original gas cartridge, a small light bulb casts a warm, atmospheric glow, transforming an everyday household object into a conversation piece full of history and character.
A perfect way to impress your guests while celebrating the charm of mid-century Eastern European design.
Original domestic soda siphon from the 1980s, manufactured in Poland during the era of the Eastern Bloc and preserved in its original metallic blue finish, professionally converted into a table lamp.
The object has been artistically transformed into a functional light piece while preserving its original industrial character, including its factory-applied finish.
Each piece is individually crafted and exists as a singular work of art.
