A. Perazzone - Scissor lamp - V228 - Steel - Swan neck

This is a vintage industrial desk lamp with a flexible gooseneck and clamp fastening, a classic mid-20th-century design (usually dated between the 1940s and 1960s).
This type of metal gooseneck lamp was extremely popular in workshops, offices, and drafting tables due to its versatility, as it can be attached directly to the edge of any tabletop using its metal clamp underneath.

Main features of this model:

• Functional design: It has a ribbed, flexible arm (gooseneck), chrome-plated or nickel-plated, that allows the beam of light to be directed in any direction.
• Reflector shade: Its hemispherical dome-shaped metal shade focuses the light directly onto the work surface.
• Industrial style: Similar pieces from this period were produced by various European technical lighting firms of the modern era, such as Italy’s A. Perazzone Torino and the Dutch company Hala Zeist, as well as workshops in the former Czechoslovakia and France.

The A. Perazzone Torino technical articulated desk lamp from the 1940s (vintage model v228) is an excellent and sought-after example of mid-20th-century Italian industrial and task lighting.
This mid-century modern design piece stands out for its sturdiness and extraordinary mechanical functionality, originally intended for drafting tables, technical offices, and workshops of the period.

Main details and features:

• Turin production: Made by A. Perazzone, a historic Turin brand specializing in technical and industrial lighting. Its products competed directly with other great classics of the era in terms of reliability and precision.
• Clamp system: The base is fitted with a sturdy die-cast metal screw clamp, which made it possible to secure the lamp firmly to the edge of workbenches or drafting tables, optimizing desk space.
• Flexible arm (gooseneck): The flexible, adjustable metal tube makes it possible to direct the beam of light with millimeter precision onto the work surface.
• Reflector shade: The hemispherical metal shade is designed to house the bulb and reflect the light in a focused manner, preventing direct glare for the user.
Original models from the 1940s like this one are highly prized by industrial design collectors for their authentic character and the patina the metal develops over time.
