c. 1940s; Flexo (Art Specialty Co.) - Chicago, IL
Articulating industrial task lamp with integrated magnifying lens, finished in a warm brown enamel over cast metal construction. The stepped, weighted base anchors a two-joint arm system with ball-and-socket pivots, allowing for a wide range of positioning. The circular head houses both a ring-style light and central magnifier, designed for close work-inspection, drafting, or bench-top precision tasks. Surface shows honest shop wear with scattered paint loss and patina at the joints, reinforcing its utilitarian roots. A sculptural piece where form follows function, with a distinctly machine-age profile softened by its rounded geometry.
Base: 9" W x 9" D
Arm (overall): 40" L
