This 1960s desk lamp, produced by Zaos Lighting Equipment Works in Poland, exemplifies the modernist style with strong mid-century modern characteristics. The lamp's body is crafted from lacquered steel in a cool, muted green, featuring a white speckled pattern that gives the surface a subtle matte sheen. Both the wide, dome-shaped shade and the round, compact base share this distinctive texture. The gently curved, nickel-plated metal arm is attached to the base with a visible joint, allowing the shade position to be adjusted as needed. The classic cream push-button switch with a red tip is set into the base, emphasizing the lamp's functional character. Equipped with an ebonite socket for E14 bulbs, the lamp retains its original, fully operational wiring.
