Description from the seller
Space Age table lamp "Molecule" – in the style of Robert Sonneman – 1970s
Iconic sculptural table lamp model "Molecule" in full Space Age style, dating from the 1970s and often attributed to the famous designer Robert Sonneman. The structure consists of a dynamic cluster of mirrored chrome metal spheres, interspersed by six original white opal glass globes that diffuse a warm and atmospheric light. The base is a solid parallelepiped of matte black-painted metal.
A piece with strong visual and geometric impact, perfect for Mid-Century Modern interiors and 20th-century design collectors.
Conditions:
• Structure: Good vintage condition. The external chrome is glossy and shows only a slight and normal patina of time. Signs of surface oxidation to clean inside some bulb socket housings (not visible when the bulbs are mounted).
• All the white glass bulbs are present, intact and free of chips.
• Electrical system: Working. Note: the original dimmer on the base is not functioning; the lamp has historically been modified with the addition of a convenient through-switch on the cord for switching on.
Dimensions:
• Height: 55 cm
• Width: 26 cm
• Depth: 24 cm
