This German desk lamp from the 1970s embodies a carefully balanced interplay of materials and form, characteristic of the modernist design language of its era. The 22 cm diameter shade, rendered in a warm ivory tone, is crafted from plastic and accented by horizontal bands of light brown wood, lending an organic, tactile quality to the composition. The matte finish of the shade contrasts with the satin sheen of the brushed, chromed steel used for the stem and adjustable arm. The lamp is anchored by a circular, glossy black base—likely lacquered metal or bakelite—which visually connects with the original bakelite switch. Functional features include adjustable height and angle for both the arm and the shade, while the E27 socket ensures versatility. The lamp is preserved in very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of oxidation on the metal parts and no visible damage to the shade or wooden elements. The form of this lamp echoes the voice of 1970s German modernism: overtly functional, stripped of unnecessary ornament, yet open to subtle experiments with texture and light. The ivory shade interlaced with wood seems to nod toward a longing for nature amid
