The shade, made of red glass with an intense, deep gloss, immediately draws attention with its geometric form that perfectly reflects the spirit of modernism and 1960s aesthetics. Its spherical shape combined with rhythmic cylindrical segments creates a harmonious and dynamic composition. This lamp serves not only as a lighting element but also as a decorative accent that fits beautifully in both vintage interiors and contemporary spaces inspired by mid-century modern design.

The Spółdzielnia Inwalidów “Promień” (Promień Disabled Workers’ Cooperative) in Wieliczka was one of the key centers of Polish industrial design in the second half of the 20th century. During the communist era (PRL), it specialized in the production of lighting fixtures, tableware, and objects made of plastics and metal. Its designs—often created in collaboration with artists and industrial designers—combined solid craftsmanship with modern form. Today, products from this cooperative are regarded as valuable examples of postwar Polish design, appreciated by both collectors and admirers of authentic historical objects.
