Description from the seller

Massive – Vintage Space Age ‘Bug Eye’ / UFO pendant lamp – Belgium – 1970s

Special and characterful Space Age ‘Bug Eye’ pendant lamp, produced in the 1970s by the Belgian brand Massive.

This striking pendant lamp is made of transparent red and opal white plastic and is often referred to as a ‘Bug Eye’ or UFO lamp due to its futuristic design. The large spherical shade with organically shaped white light areas gives the lamp the instantly recognizable look of Space Age design from the seventies.

When the lamp is lit, the opal white panels glow softly. The combination of bright red, white elements and the spherical shape makes this lamp a real eye-catcher both day and night. A distinctive design object that fits perfectly in a retro, Space Age or Mid-Century interior.

The lamp is in authentic vintage condition, with patina, scratches and signs of use appropriate for its age. There is a crack in the red plastic, clearly visible in the detail photo. It is at the top of the lamp. The signs of wear and damage have intentionally not been concealed, so an honest picture of the condition is provided and the original character remains. Please view all photos carefully; they form an important part of the description.
