Vintage Space Age pendant lamp by Deens Fabrikaat, model Kubus/Dobbelsteen, Denmark, circa 1960–1970, made of metal with plastic and Plexiglas accents, 23.5 cm high, 13 cm wide and 13 cm deep, weighing 369 g, in good used condition with minor patina.
Description from the seller
This characterful vintage hanging lamp is a pronounced example of Space Age design from the 1960s–70s, executed in a clean cube shape that directly references the cubist ideology of that period.
The design is often referred to as a “dice lamp,” thanks to the rhythmically arranged, gold-colored plexiglass bumps on the sides. These elements give the lamp a playful, almost architectural character and at the same time create a subtle play of light when the lamp is in use.
The combination of lacquered metal and contrasting details fits perfectly with the Scandinavian design philosophy of functionality and form balance. The white interior provides a pleasant, diffuse light distribution, while the closed form allows the light to exit outward in a controlled and atmospheric way.
This lamp is not only a functional light source but also a sculptural object that comes into its own in a modern, minimalist, or vintage interior. It is lightly wired and ready for use.
Dimensions: H 23.5 cm x W 13 cm x D 13 cm
Weight: 369 grams
This item is in nicely preserved condition with minimal patina from age and use. It will be securely packed, shipped by registered mail, insured, and sent with tracking.
