these lamps are a striking example of late 20th-century italian postmodern lighting, combining futuristic aesthetics with highly functional engineering. Notably, the model gained cult status after being featured in the star trek vi: the undiscovered country and multiple star trek series, making it especially sought-after among collectors and design enthusiasts.

each lamp features a small circular black plastic shade mounted on a graphite-coloured plastic stem composed of three interlocking sections, allowing the height to be adjusted or fully collapsed. The stems can be folded flat onto their bases, emphasizing portability and compact design—hallmarks of porsche’s functional approach.

the graphite base houses a distinctive long, thin green switch positioned at the front, adding a subtle contrast detail characteristic of 1980s design.
