Designer: Jaroslav Antonin Junka (born 1908 – date of death unknown), Czech designer active in the 1960s, associated with Zukov. His name appears in designs in the "Brusel" style – a decorative modernist trend popular in Czechoslovakia at that time.
Manufacturer:
Zukov (or Žukov) is a Czech company specializing in the production of lamps, including table lamps, pendant lamps, and chandeliers. In the 1960s, it enjoyed a reputation for its original designs, often combining colored glass with chrome or metal elements. Its lights, frequently exhibited at international trade fairs (e.g., Expo 58), were considered examples of a fresh, Central European Mid-Century Modern style. See less
