OSRAM Minispot Halogen 41701 – Complete Boxed Set – Germany – 1970s
A fine example of German Space Age lighting design from the 1970s, the OSRAM Minispot Halogen model 41701 combines innovative engineering with the clean functional aesthetic that characterized European industrial design of the period.
Developed by OSRAM during the early years of halogen lighting technology, the Minispot was conceived as a versatile spotlight suitable for desks, shelves, display cabinets, reading areas and architectural accent lighting. Its distinctive magnetic spotlight system allows the spherical lamp head to rotate freely, directing light precisely where needed while maintaining a remarkably compact and sculptural form.
The brushed stainless steel spherical head contrasts beautifully with the matte black housing, creating a balanced composition that reflects the influence of German functionalist design and the Space Age aesthetic of the era. Every element serves a practical purpose, from the integrated transformer to the freely adjustable magnetic spotlight mechanism.
This particular example is especially desirable as it retains its original retail packaging, moulded polystyrene insert, instruction booklet and original wall-mounting bracket.
The lamp has been tested and is fully functional.
