The lamp is attributed to the Slezák company, a well-known Czechoslovak manufacturer active during the interwar period and closely associated with functionalist and Bauhaus-influenced lighting.

The design reflects classic Bauhaus principles: clean geometry, functional construction, and timeless proportions. The stepped opaline glass shade provides soft, diffused light, while the chrome base and vertical stem give the lamp a refined, architectural presence. A rare and authentic lighting piece suitable for interiors focused on Bauhaus, Art Deco, or early modern design.
