Description from the seller
1990s Pelican Desk Lamp - Playful Postmodern Design
This whimsical pelican-shaped desk lamp captures the joyful spirit of 1990s postmodern design. Its sculptural form, vibrant colours, and functional charm make it an eye-catching piece for both collectors and design lovers alike.
Crafted in the 1990s, likely in Italy, this lamp stands out with its blue body, yellow wings, and bold red beak that opens to reveal the light source. The use of durable plastic and stylised shapes is typical of the playful and experimental aesthetic of the era. Perfect for a children's room, a pop-art interior, or as a standout piece on a design desk.
* Manufacturer & Period: European production, 1990s
* Materials: Hard plastic in matte finish, metal interior
* Dimensions: Height 41 cm (16.1 in), Width 9.2 cm (3.6 in), Depth 13 cm (5.1 in)
* Condition: Good overall with visible signs of use; a noticeable yellowed area under the beak likely caused by the heat of the bulb
* Functionality: On/off switch on the base; original wiring in place
* Appeal: Highly collectible for fans of Memphis-style or kitsch decor, as well as nostalgic 90s design enthusiasts
Please note that the lamp shows signs of wear consistent with age and use. The lighting function has not been tested.
