AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Herda Space Age UFO pendant lamp – model A4219-001-048 – Netherlands, circa 1975–1978
Special vintage design lamp from the 1970s
This distinctive pendant lamp is a wonderful example of Space Age design from the 1970s. Its futuristic, almost UFO-like design combines a wide black metal shade with a large round glass disc measuring no less than 50 cm in diameter.
The conical metal shade is perforated all around with small holes. When the lamp is on, these openings create a striking play of light and a warm, atmospheric glow. The large glass disc has a subtle greenish tint around the edge and appears to float beneath the black shade.
The understated combination of black metal and glass gives the lamp a distinctive, timeless character.
Original Herda identification
On the inside is the original blue Herda factory label, with the full model designation:
TYPE A 4219-001-048
The original label also lists:
- 220 V
- MAX 75 W
The original type plate is an important authentic detail and confirms the lamp's identification as a Herda.
Based on its design and combination of materials, the lamp dates to circa 1975–1978.
Height adjustment mechanism:
The lamp is fitted with its original mechanical pull mechanism, which allows the height to be adjusted.
The tension of this mechanism can be adjusted using a wing nut. This allows the mechanism to be set tighter or looser.
The mechanism has been tested and works. The wing nut is currently set tightly.
