This elegant and multifunctional floor lamp in the spirit of Bauhaus functionalism dates from the 1930s in Czechoslovakia and bears the unmistakable signature of prominent designer Jindřich Halabala, who created it for the renowned UP Závody. The architectural concept of the entire fixture is built upon precisely bent chromed steel combined with milky glass and an ingeniously integrated side table, while the construction offers the practical feature of adjustable height. This clean geometric interplay and timeless utility lend the object captivating visual dynamics and the characteristic charm of the interwar avant-garde, while the round milky glass shade ensures a uniform and soft diffusion of warm light without harsh shadows.

The item has undergone a complete, highly professional restoration combined with thorough cleaning of all surfaces and chromed parts. Experienced restorers also carried out a professional revision of the electrification in strict accordance with valid standards, fully restoring one hundred percent safe functionality while preserving the absolute historical authenticity and collector's value of this solitaire piece.

Thanks to its unique combination of lighting and practical storage space, this floor lamp serves as a highly stylish yet functional element in a modern interior. It stands out perfectly beside a comfortable armchair in a living room, in a reading nook, or as a breathtaking design solitaire in a space emphasizing top-tier interwar Czechoslovak design.
