ABOUT PRODUCTID 13150
This 1930s desk lamp, produced in Czechoslovakia and attributed to the Bauhaus milieu, embodies the essential codes of modernist industrial design of the period. The near-black Bakelite body and broad, low base create a striking contrast with the glossy metal shade. Its form is an interplay of sharp geometric lines: a conical shade atop a rounded triangular base, both celebrating order and function. The Bakelite base features a smooth, satin sheen catching subtle reflections, while the shade boasts a more pronounced gloss. An industrial-style toggle switch and spring-mounted E14 bulb socket highlight its machine-age character. The lamp is finished off with a discreet cream-colored cord, allowing the deep monochrome to take center stage. All details are precisely engineered: seamless joins, functional exposed screws, and consistently tight fittings. The vintage condition is excellent, with original patina and light age-typical surface marks – no significant damage or evidence of repair.The proportions of this lamp quietly reflect the clarity and utopian aspirations of the 1930s: prioritizing function, honesty of material, and structural openness. In the glossy surface, one catches a glimpse of everyday
