Lupela - Gugel Sancha - Table lamp - Reina - Steel

LUPELA desk lamp cataloged as model H39 and better known as REINA. Lamp designed by Jose Luís Gugel Sancha for Lupela España in 1966. Its futuristic design and its articulated structure give it a unique character. Probably the REINA series is the most iconic and feminine model of LUPELA.

The LUPELA company was created by LUis PErez LAnzas (apócope). Luis had two sons: Fernando Perez de la Oliva, who later registered the LUPELA trademark, and Luis Pérez de la Oliva, who founded the renowned company FASE. Fernando bought the manufacturing rights to five lamps by designer Jose Luis Gugel Sacha: Reina, Cobra, 225, 226 and Cisne and agreed with his brother Luis Perez de la Oliva that FASE would not manufacture articulated lamps. The rest is history: the brothers did not respect the pact and FASE designed and manufactured desk lamps inspired by LUPELA models.

The lamp I bring to auction is the Reina model in gold color. The lampshade is equipped with a crystal diffuser and can rotate in all directions. The lamp has been inspected by a professional electrician who has replaced the wiring so it can be used safely.

The lamp is in vintage condition and shows signs of use, mainly on the arm and base: slight paint lifting and a stain. Please review the photographs carefully as they are part of the product description.
