ABOUT PRODUCTID 11906
This desk lamp, designed by Josef Hůrka and produced by Napako in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies the functional mid-century modern aesthetic of Central Eastern Europe. The lamp features a vivid matte orange-red dome-shaped shade, contrasted by a matte black upper section that lends a strong, graphic presence. Its construction is based on two articulated, polished chrome arms with a sleek, reflective surface, allowing for extensive adjustability and reach. A robust, industrial-style clamp in the same orange-red hue secures the lamp to desks of any thickness, while details such as plastic or Bakelite adjustment knobs reinforce its utilitarian roots. Subtle signs of age—small scratches and paint chips, particularly on the black section—attest to its vintage authenticity, yet its overall condition remains very good, with original character and patina preserved.This lamp echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when practicality and bold form were paired with striking color. The orange shade conjures the energy and optimism of its era, while the chrome arms reflect light as if recalling industrial workshops of the past. It is an object that remembers a time when design served everyday needs without sacrificing character—every chip and mark is a trace of history, not merely a sign of use.The lamp can be used in a home office or as a focused lighting source in a contemporary living space
