This adjustable desk lamp from the 1950s and 1960s exemplifies the distinctly industrial current within mid-century modern design. Its robust construction features a solid metal arm with three articulated joints, allowing for precise light direction. The arm presents a warm, muted beige tone, highlighted by visible patina, scratches, and areas of paint loss—all accentuating the lamp’s authentic, utilitarian origins. The shade, crafted from glossy black metal in a classic technical shape, displays fine surface scuffs characteristic of age. A round, heavy base in matte black—crafted as a later workshop replacement for the original vice mount—anchors the piece, while exposed screws and joints reinforce its industrial heritage. The surface textures vary: the arm is matte and roughened, the shade smoother and more lustrous. A black cord with an inline switch completes the setup. Condition: very good vintage with honest signs of use, no damage; the base is a solid, later replacement.The form of this lamp resonates with the voice of an era where industrial meant purposeful utility and resilience. Its matte, tactile arm recalls the atmosphere of workshops and drafting rooms, where light was a tool
