The hemispherical heads rotate smoothly on arched chrome bases, while the black side wheels allow precise aiming for reading or display lighting. Mirrored E14 bulbs complete the iconic eyeball effect, turning each piece into a small reflective sculpture.

Ideal as bedside companions, on a console, or flanking a mirror, they bring a refined pop-futurist accent to contemporary interiors.
In excellent condition, with enamel wear mainly on the areas in contact with the magnet.

The lamps are particularly effective displayed as a pair, where the repetition of their spherical forms creates a strong visual rhythm. Their compact dimensions nevertheless allow each piece to work independently as a desk, bedside or accent lamp.

The construction also allows the lamps to be mounted on the wall, making them unusually versatile examples of 1970s directional lighting.

Both lamps use E14 bulbs. New inline switches will be fitted before shipping.

The pair remains in very good vintage condition overall. There are light signs of age on the chrome surfaces and some losses to the white paint inside the spherical shades. Please refer to the photographs for a detailed view of the condition. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
