AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Table lamp from the renowned brand Fase, Presidente model, edition "Raíz" (commonly referred to as "tortoiseshell" or "animal print"). Designed by Industrias Fase (Luis Pérez De La Oliva and Pedro García Martín).
It is an exceptional piece due to its excellent state of preservation with all original components: paint, wood, wiring, chrome... After more than 50 years, it is very rare to see a Fase lamp in these conditions. Simply, as seen in the latest photos of the lamp: the lamp has a small dent at the base.
The base and the shade are made of painted steel in "tortoiseshell", "animal print" or "root". This color was produced in smaller numbers than other colors. The arm is made of solid oak wood with a chromed gold finish.
It is a vintage item and, therefore, shows signs of use. It has no dents and the original crystal is in perfect condition—"no hairlines".
The Fase Presidente is an icon of Spanish industrial design from the 1960s and 1970s, possibly the best known of all Fase designs. This is due, in addition to its undeniable aesthetic beauty, to its being used countless times by art directors in the world of cinema as period props in numerous Spanish and international films set in the 1960s and 1970s: it is Don Draper’s desk lamp in Mad Men, Indiana Jones, Admiral Forrest Stark Trek, etc."
