The construction is based on a metal, fully adjustable arm with several joints, allowing for precise light positioning.
The lampshade is made of metal, with a classic, technical form. Visible natural signs of use, patina, and minor paint abrasions emphasize the authentic, functional origins of the lamp and give it a raw character, valued in loft and modernist arrangements.
The lamp is mounted on a solid, stable base – the current base was made secondarily (in a workshop), replacing the original vise attachment to the tabletop. This improves functionality and allows for classic desk use without interfering with the upper elements of the structure.
The lamp is electrically functional, with a cord and switch on the cable. Standard bulb thread.
Condition: good vintage – consistent with its age, with a distinct, honest patina.
Material: metal
Style: Industrial / Mid-Century Modern
Period: approx. 1950s–1960s
Origin: Europe (manufacturer not marked)
The lamp is ideal for loft interiors, offices, studios, design studios, or as a strong accent in a contemporary interior.
