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 plastic shell that opens manually to adjust the opening and the intensity of the light beam. Inside, the lower dome houses the light source protected by a thin metal plate finished in white (evoking the purity of a pearl), while the upper shell carries 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 given a plastic polishing treatment, restoring its original mirrored brilliance. Structurally sound, solid, with no cracks or geometric defects. Minimal and physiological signs of aging consistent with the object's age, which do not detract from its extraordinary aesthetics. Original era electrical system and perfectly functioning. Fitted with an E14 socket bulb (not included).
Manufacturer: Gamma 3 Padova (Made in Italy)
Period: 1970s
Style: Space Age / Modern Vintage
Materials: Glossy plastic (ABS), metal, mirror
