Modernist articulating table lamp designed by Rosemarie & Rico Baltensweiler. Features a weighted metal base, adjustable chrome arm, and conical aluminum shade. A hallmark of Swiss functional design, combining precision engineering with minimalist form.
The Pentarkus table lamp was designed in the 1957 by Swiss duo Rosemarie and Rico Baltensweiler, known for their technically inventive and minimalist approach to lighting. This versatile model features a clean, geometric form and is constructed from enamelled white steel and chrome-plated steel elements, highlighting the duo’s commitment to industrial materials and refined functionality.
Originally designed as an adjustable reading or desk lamp, the Pentarkus has since become an iconic collector’s piece, emblematic of Swiss modernism. The articulated arms and pivoting shade allow precise light direction, making it as useful today as it was at the time of its creation
