AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special and increasingly hard-to-find vintage Rotaflex pendant lamp from the 1970s, also known as the “Sugar Lamp” due to its characteristic surface of thousands of small transparent, cylindrical plastic elements.
The spherical shade has a pronounced Mid-Century Modern / Space Age look. Especially when the lamp is lit, the structure comes beautifully to life: the light is dispersed by the relief and creates a warm, sparkling and atmospheric glow.
The strong graphic spherical design combined with the distinctive texture makes this lamp a real head-turner, both when lit and unlit. Beautiful above a dining table, in a living room, or as a statement piece in a vintage or modern interior.
Specifications: manufacturer Rotaflex, design period 1970s, style Mid-Century Modern / Space Age, E27/E26 Edison screw fitting. Dimensions approximately 35 cm diameter × 30 cm high.
This is an original vintage piece with age- and use-related signs consistent with its age. The patina and condition present have deliberately not been concealed; please review the detail photos carefully, they are part of the description.
A decorative and characterful 1970s Space Age lamp for the collector or enthusiast of original vintage lighting.
