AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage industrial designer/architect's table lamp – 1970s
Fascinating technical/architect's table lamp in perfect Industrial style, dating from the 1970s. This model embodies the rationalist and functional aesthetics of classic work lighting, drawing design inspiration from the famous Luxo L-1 Scandinavian lamps.
The lamp features an articulating arm structure with square-section chromed steel, balanced by an external double-spring system that allows you to orient and hold the light in any position. The conical reflector, with a white interior to optimize light diffusion and a matte black exterior, is equipped with an integrated switch on top of the shade.
The lower plug is prepared for insertion into a bench clamp or a heavy cast-iron base. Inside the diffuser the original vintage label with the indication "MAX 60W" is still present.
• Period: 1970s
• Materials: Chromed steel, black-painted aluminum
• Bulb base: E27 (working, bulb not included)
• Condition: Good overall. The mechanical structure and springs are solid and fully functional. There are widespread spots of blooming (pitting) and surface oxidation on the chrome of the arms and the lower joint (as visible in the photos), which give the item a beautiful and authentic vintage patina. The shade shows slight signs of aging in the paint.
A perfect vintage piece to enhance a desk, a technical workspace, or an industrial loft-style environment. Note: desk clamp not included
