ABOUT PRODUCTID 20209
This Helo Leuchten desk lamp from the 1960s exemplifies German mid-century modern design, where function is expressed through striking form. The metal lampshade, finished in a vivid, glossy red, features evenly spaced vertical ventilation slits serving both functional and decorative purposes. The interior of the shade is painted matte off-white to optimize light diffusion. The base and arm, crafted from metal in a cool, muted blue-grey, create an open, semicircular silhouette with a subtle sheen, ensuring stability and a distinctive industrial-modernist profile. The adjustable arm connects to the shade via a brass-toned joint, allowing for directional lighting, while a white cylindrical switch sits atop the shade for easy access. The lamp remains in very good condition, with no cracks or dents—only minor patina on the brass and minimal signs of age.This piece channels the voice of postwar German modernism: the bold color of the shade speaks to the era’s optimism, while the disciplined, harmonious lines evoke the factory-inspired order of the 1960s. The lightly patinated metal hints at decades of service on the desks of engineers, architects, or teachers—reliable, ready to focus light on the smallest detail. The
