ABOUT PRODUCTID 16332
The desk lamp designed by Josef Hůrka in Czechoslovakia during the 1970s stands as a testament to Central European modernist tradition. Its construction consists of a wide, stable base and a downward-flared shade, both crafted from lacquered metal in a lemon-yellow tone. The glossy, reflective surfaces and carefully rounded details interact with a signature chrome arm, bent into an ‘S’ shape, underpinning the sculptural logic of the silhouette. Black plastic components at the joints and cable exit form a crisp contrast with the yellow and chrome, while elongated, radial slits at the top of the shade act as ventilation and add a subtle graphic motif. The lampshade measures 16 cm in diameter, the height of the lamp is 50 cm, and the base measures 17 cm in diameter; the integrated cable with switch is finished in black.The lamp’s form expresses a disciplined, purposeful approach rooted in functional modernism. The yellow lacquer recalls the light of early morning—suggesting vitality and fresh intention, encapsulated within a precise, technical shape. The arc of chrome and the precise slits lend a sense of movement and lightness, while the balanced, graphic interplay of elements underscores the lamp’s dedication to the organization of workspace and its 1970s design heritage.This lamp will suit a light, minimalist desk or console, where its yellow accent will highlight both natural wood tones and white surfaces. When combined with black accessories—such as organizers or frames—it takes on a more pronounced, graphic character. It is equally well-suited for a home office featuring modernist-inspired posters or as a color accent against grey or beige backdrops. The chrome elements of the lamp may be echoed in nearby furniture or lighting details to maintain a cohesive visual rhythm.
