This desk lamp from the 1960s exemplifies the functional mid-century modern approach. The construction combines metal and aluminum, forming a slender, matte-finished stem and a wide, dome-shaped shade in a deep black tone. The inside of the lampshade is finished in matte white, enhancing light diffusion and providing a subtle contrast to the exterior. The lamp is anchored by a low, wide base in light gray, complemented by a black power cord. Its proportions (height 55 cm, shade width 29 cm, depth 45 cm) make it suitable for placement on a desk, sideboard, or work table. The lamp uses a standard E27 bulb. It has been preserved in very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of use and a natural patina typical for authentic objects from the period.The lamp’s form captures the spirit of the 1960s, when a focus on function over ornamentation was combined with a distinctly industrial sensibility. The shade, like a black disc, hovers above the pale base, creating a subtle play of light and shadow. Clean lines and the absence of decorative elements allow the lamp to speak in the calm, pragmatic tone of its era—evoking the order, precision, and consistency valued in modernist offices and homes.This type of lamp can be used not only on a classic desk, but also as a singular accent on a living room console, paired with minimalist metal or glass accessories. It could be combined with simple wooden or lacquered MDF shelving, or modern black-and-white graphics. Interiors styled in mid-century modern or eclectic collectors’ arrangements will highlight its raw yet refined silhouette. Its universal color palette pairs well with both light and darker backgrounds.The lamp is fitted for E27 bulbs, allowing the use of both traditional and LED light sources. All visible parts are
