AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of matching desk lamps / vintage desk lamps probably dating from the 1970s.
The two lamps feature a distinctive design of that period, combining simple geometric shapes, black-and-white contrast, and silver metal elements.
Each lamp consists of a rectangular base in black-and-white synthetic material, equipped with a toggle switch, a flexible metal neck of the gooseneck type, and an orientable cylindrical lampshade.
The flexible arms allow easy direction of the light sources in various directions.
The combination of black, white, and metal gives the whole a Space Age / Mid-Century look that is particularly representative of utilitarian design from the 1970s.
