a perfect blend of form and function, this iconic lighting piece brings a touch of mid-century modern to your interior.

this lamp is attributed to polam (est. 1955), a leading polish brand in the lighting industry, but on the internet i also find equivalent lamps attributed to dutch lighting manufacturer raak. As the lamp is not marked, it is not possible to say with 100% certainty.
in any case, both are famous designers of many iconic high-quality mid-century lamps that are highly sought after.

the lamp consists of a chrome frame with three partially open tubes/cylinders in brushed metal with a bright orange interior, which together form a beautiful and playful contrast.
inside the tubes is an e14 socket with a mirror bulb (bulbs are included).
the orange interior gives it a warm and cosy orange glow when lit.

the design and combination of silver and orange is a hallmark of the mid-century modern / space age style and makes a timeless addition to your dining room, living room, kitchen or entryway.
the lamp has strong similarities to the famous pantre and pandean lamp (pandean pipes, pan flute) designed by bent karlby for lyfa denmark.

the unique design not only illuminates your space, but is also a perfect item that highlights your sophisticated taste!
