Description from the seller
Tukan Lamp GX2001
The Tukan GX2001 lamp is a sculptural, playful desk lamp designed in the shape of a toucan.
It was designed by H. T. Huang, and is considered an iconic piece of 1980s pop design.
The body is made of plastic, using a combination of vibrant colors (often green, yellow, black, white) to evoke the exotic look of a toucan.
Dimensions:
• Height: ~ 35 cm
• Beak (or 'shade') length/depth: approximately 32 cm
The lampshade ('beak') is foldable — it opens from the base to form the long beak of the toucan, which also serves as the light source.
Lighting: The lamp uses a fluorescent tube (in some models, e.g., 11W) hidden inside the beak.
• Power: 230 V, 50 Hz (standard mains electricity)
Design function: It works as both a desk lamp and a night lamp, thanks to its shape and the way the beak can be adjusted.
• Style: Very retro / 80s, pop art, fun and decorative — it’s not just utilitarian but also a design piece.
• Stability: It has a stable base and a solid arm, so even with the long beak (shade), it stands firmly on a desk.
