This Spanish desk lamp by Metalarte, produced in the 1970s, embodies the intersection of mid-century modern design and Space Age aesthetics. The lamp is constructed from three dominant elements: a substantial, semi-spherical metal shade in a deep olive-grey metallic finish with a high-gloss, mirror-like sheen; a gently curved stem made of brushed metal brings a soft matte contrast; and a round base that echoes the shade’s form, finished in the same color and material. The metallic, cylindrical switch is positioned off-center at the front of the base, serving as a discreet yet practical detail. All elements are joined with precise craftsmanship, reinforcing both the geometric balance and the industrial roots characteristic of Metalarte’s production in this era. The lamp’s proportions highlight its utilitarian spirit—minimalist yet assertive, with clear references to Bauhaus fundamentals. Condition is very good, with only inconspicuous traces of use that do not detract from its overall integrity; no notable scratches or dents. This lamp tells a story of 1970s Spain, when the optimism of modernity blended with the ambitions of Space Age exploration. The domed shade, evocative of astronaut helmets, casts a concentrated light, its cool olive surface recalling the atmosphere of futuristic offices and living rooms from the period.
