AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and rare table lamp model "Oyster" (Ostrica), an icon of Italian Space Age design produced in the 1970s by Gamma 3 Padova.
The lamp is distinguished by its iconic glossy orange-bright plastic shell that opens manually to regulate the opening and the intensity of the light beam. Inside, the lower cap houses the light source protected by a thin metal plate finished in white (evoking the purity of a pearl), while the upper shell mounts an original integrated mirror that reflects the light, creating a striking visual and volumetric effect.
Conditions: The item has been recently and carefully cleaned and subjected to a plastic polishing treatment, which has restored its original mirrored shine. Structurally sound, solid, without cracks or geometric defects. Minimal and physiological signs of time consistent with the object's age, which do not detract from its extraordinary aesthetics. Original electrical system from the period and perfectly functional. Fitted with a lamp with E14 socket (not included).
Manufacturer: Gamma 3 Padova (Made in Italy)
Period: 1970s
Style: Space Age / Modern design
Materials: Glossy plastic (ABS), metal, mirror
