Fase - Luis Pérez de la Oliva - Desk lamp - Rare model, colour top condition, all original. - Metal, Glass

The Fase President model lamp, in its exclusive CAREY finish, is often called the 'most beautiful desk lamp in the world.' Designed in 1963 by Luis Pérez de la Oliva and Pedro Martín García for Industrias Fase, this piece is a symbol of Spanish industrial design from the 1960s. Its sophisticated appearance, combining a rotating base made of solid walnut wood, a chrome-plated steel arm, and a metal shade in carey, makes it a functional work of art. The ingenious ball joint allows precise orientation of the light in all directions, while the opaline glass diffuser emits a soft, elegant glow.

This lamp is completely original, the first edition of these models with the Carey finish, the fixing bolt, the ring, the period socket and the diffuser, all in perfect condition, testifying to the exceptional quality of this creation.

Founded in 1964, Industrias Fase redefined lighting standards in Spain, exporting its luminaires to prestigious international markets, from New York to Tokyo. Originally designed for elite offices, including those of the Francoist government, the President quickly became a global icon thanks to its timeless design. Influenced by Italian modernism and the functional rigor of Bauhaus, it embodies a universal aesthetic, enhanced by a Mediterranean touch through the use of walnut and chromed steel. Since Fase's closure in the 1990s, its lamps have become coveted collector's pieces, prized by decorators and mid-century design enthusiasts.

The Black President is a masterpiece of refinement and precision. Its base, made of solid walnut with rich, polished veins, offers elegant stability and a subtle contrast with the arm in gold-plated chrome steel, whose impeccable shine captures the light. The lampshade is in excellent condition. The opaline glass diffuser, original, softens the light from two E-27 bulbs, creating a warm and functional ambiance, ideal for an exceptional office or a sophisticated living room.

The President is a cultural icon, immortalized in film and television productions such as Mad Men (on Don Draper's desk), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or Remington Steel. Its futuristic design, evoking the space aesthetics of the 1960s, makes it a fascination for retro-futurism enthusiasts.

The brand « FASE – patented models. MADRID – SPAIN » engraved on the base guarantees its authenticity. This lamp would be an exceptional piece, perfect for a discerning collector or a high-end interior. Its rarity, iconic design, and impeccable condition make it both an aesthetic and patrimonial investment.
