ABOUT PRODUCTID 30673
The TYP 11641 desk or bedside lamp was produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, embodying the functional design principles inspired by the Bauhaus movement. Its form is defined by a compact, geometric silhouette: a wide, angular shade and a rounded base, both crafted from bakelite, create a cohesive whole. The main color is a warm, off-white with a gentle sheen, accented by a green detail at the top of the shade, a black rotary switch on the base, and a beige power cord. The lamp offers versatility with its adjustable shade and dual function—it can stand on a surface or be mounted as a wall sconce. The construction emphasizes solidity and simplicity, with visible screws and a straightforward joint highlighting its utilitarian purpose. The condition is very good for its age: only minor scuffs and light discoloration attest to its history, with no major damage and all elements remaining original. The lamp's precise form and industrial lines narrate the story of modernist Europe in the 1930s, an era when function and structural logic were held equal to aesthetics. Its slightly glossy bakelite surface reflects light like a memory of an architect's studio from a century ago. The green accent at the top introduces a touch of freshness, evoking the spirit of experimentation that defined the Bauhaus search for new materials and technologies. The lamp seems to whisper of a time when every detail was intentional, and everyday objects were as much statements of progress as expressions of daily life. The TYP 11641 lamp can be paired with other period pieces—such as a bent plywood desk or a steel console—to underscore its modernist heritage. It will also complement contemporary minimalist interiors, where its geometric form acts as a subtle design accent. Spaces inspired by
