Description from the seller
Aluminor France – Pair of Postmodern Adjustable Desk Lamps – Model 20/02 – 1980s
An elegant and quintessential example of late 20th-century French industrial lighting design, this listing features an authentic pair of adjustable halogen desk lamps manufactured in France by the renowned lighting maker Aluminor (Model 20/02).
Featuring a sleek minimalist architecture, both lamps combine double articulated chrome-plated steel arms with adjustable parabolic shades and heavy, solid bases. Each hood includes top-perforation details for optimal heat dissipation and a dedicated black directional handle, allowing seamless positioning without touch heat. Equipped with integrated 12V transformers and classic toggle switches on the bases, this pair offers both precision functionality and iconic postmodern desk aesthetics.
Condition Report
Lamp 1 (Full Chrome Edition):
Excellent vintage condition. Barely used with minimal, age-appropriate signs of wear. The original chrome finish retains a strong, mirror-like luster. Tested and in full working order.
Lamp 2 (Black & Chrome Edition):
Good vintage condition with an attractive aged patina. Features a black lacquered shade and base paired with chrome articulated arms. Tested and fully functional with original wiring. Shows localized surface oxidation/rust spots on the metal rods and light marks consistent with age (clearly documented in the photo gallery). Left untreated to preserve its original vintage character.
