Aluminor – André Lavigne – Counterbalanced Desk Lamp – France, 1960s/70s

Description
Beautiful Aluminor counterbalanced desk lamp, designed by André Lavigne and dating from the 1960s/70s.
This elegant French lamp features a chrome-plated metal structure, a round burgundy lacquered metal base and a matching lampshade. Its articulated counterbalanced arm allows the position and direction of the light to be easily adjusted.
The combination of burgundy, chrome and black gives the lamp a distinctive look typical of French industrial design from this period.
The lamp is entirely original, including the lampshade, articulated arm, counterweight mechanism, base, wiring and switch.
Condition: very good overall vintage condition.
There are one or two small signs of use on the lampshade, consistent with its age, but no significant damage. The structure, mechanism and finishes are very well preserved.
Working condition: fully tested and functioning correctly.
The electrical system has been checked and the lamp has been tested prior to sale.
A beautiful example of vintage French industrial design, both decorative and functional, particularly suited to contemporary, vintage or Mid-Century interiors.
