ABOUT PRODUCTID 10486
A modernist desk lamp designed by Otto Meintzer for the Swiss company Koch & Lowy OMI DGBM, produced between 1974 and 1975. The construction combines a matte black cylindrical shade with a chrome neck and a vertical, mirror-like chrome stem, all set on a stable, round, matte black base. The lamp features an adjustable head, allowing the direction of light to be precisely set, while the substantial base ensures stability even on larger desks. Chrome elements emphasize the modernist, industrial spirit of the design, and the visible joint of the shade highlights the technical honesty of the form. The palette is cool and monochromatic, with proportions—45 cm in height, 16 cm base width, and 13 cm shade width—reflecting a pursuit of functional harmony. The lamp is preserved in good vintage condition, with minor traces of use visible mainly on the matte surfaces, but with no significant damage or restoration.
This lamp echoes the voice of 1970s industrial modernism: metal, chrome, and black speak a language of utility rather than ornament. Its geometric silhouette recalls the discipline of Bauhaus-inspired projects, where light was a tool for work, not just an embellishment. The shade, able to pivot on its axis, suggests movement and readiness for change—like the office towers
