This German desk lamp from the 1970s features a stepped lampshade made of highly glossy gradient glass, transitioning from a soft, creamy yellow at the top to a deep amber at the base. Four concentric tiers with rounded edges create a bold, geometric silhouette reminiscent of Art Deco influences, while firmly grounded in mid-century modern and 1970s design language. The shade is supported by a slender, polished brass or brass-colored metal stem, and a round, glossy base—likely lacquered metal or glass—provides stable footing and visual balance. A spiral-shaped metallic power cord serves as a distinctive decorative accent, echoing the playful rhythm of the era. All visible metal parts are polished and reflective, harmonizing with the glass's sheen. The lamp accommodates a standard screw-in bulb. It is preserved in excellent, restored condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or patina.The lamp's form evokes the narrative of the 1970s, when designers sought balance between function and decoration. Its cascading shade recalls the atmosphere of hotel lobbies and home offices from decades past, where amber-tinted light filtered softly through layered glass, casting gentle reflections across desks and consoles. The spiral cord and gleaming fittings reflect the era’s fondness for detail—a subtle interplay of whimsy and geometric clarity that remains true to its architectural roots.Placed on a desk, console, or low sideboard, the gradient shade can serve as a gentle visual counterpoint to wooden or lacquered surfaces. It pairs well with other geometric objects: simple ceramics, minimalist picture frames, or slender plant pots. This lamp fits naturally in mid-century modern, vintage, or eclectic collector’s interiors, where it can function as a lighting accent—striking yet understated.
