A bold example of late Space Age design transitioning into Post-Modernism, the lamp features a substantial, polished chrome cylindrical base topped with a large, domed white acrylic shade. The shade creates a soft, diffused "mushroom" silhouette that emits a warm, ambient glow. It is held in place by three distinctive chrome arms that add an industrial edge to the smooth curves. The lamp retains its original manufacturer's tag on the base, identifying it as "Modelo 4919 Cromado." This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
