ABOUT PRODUCTID 20461
The Polam desk lamp from the 1960s is an example of Polish design inspired by the Space Age style that defined the PRL era. Crafted entirely from plastic, the lamp features a rectangular base with subtle ribbed texture, a sharply angled single arm, and a matching rectangular shade. The deep matte black body is offset by glossy white stripes along the edges, while two prominent red rocker switches on the base provide a striking functional and visual accent. The lamp is characterized by clean lines, sharp angles, and a slightly satin finish. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible cracks, chips, or major signs of wear; all elements, including the wiring and switches, appear original and well-maintained, showing only minor age-appropriate marks.This lamp channels the spirit of the 1960s, when fascination with space exploration and modernity was reflected in everyday objects. The geometric form and bold color contrasts evoke an era where the future was imagined in black, white, and red, and plastic became a symbol of technological progress. The distinctive switches recall control panels and experimental laboratories—an echo of a time when even a home desk could feel like a small, personal mission control.It can be paired with a light wood desk or a simple metal console to highlight its retro-futuristic character. The lamp will suit mid-century modern interiors or eclectic collector's spaces, where contrasting details emphasize its original heritage. Consider combining it with other Space Age accessories—such as a geometric wall clock or minimalist graphic art—to create a cohesive yet dynamic lighting composition for a workspace or reading nook.
