The ceiling lamp or wall light model 1117/3, designed by Josef Hurka for Napako, was created in Czechoslovakia at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s. This fixture stands out with its geometric, minimalist UFO-like form, emblematic of mid-century modern aesthetics and early minimalism. The saturated, glossy yellow shade forms a striking visual statement, while the lower part in white matte glass or acrylic gently diffuses light. Suspension and ceiling mount elements are rendered in a neutral, silvery metallic finish—likely chrome or brushed steel—harmonizing with the bold yellow. The lamp’s proportions are carefully balanced: the shade measures 42 cm in diameter, with a total height of 64 cm; the profile remains light and contemporary thanks to its seamless joints and unified silhouette. Preserved in very good vintage condition, there are no visible signs of wear, restoration, or discoloration—the surface remains smooth and intact. This lamp echoes the voice of Central European modernism: the yellow shade reflects the optimism and boldness of the 1970s, when color and form were meant to enliven everyday life. Its minimalist shape—reminiscent of a flying saucer hovering above a table—speaks to an era when design aimed to be accessible, airy, and functional. The glossy yellow surface interacts with the white diffuser, creating a subtle luminous aura that softly envelops the room and gently highlights the interior architecture. The lamp can be paired with mid-century inspired furniture—such as high-legged sideboards, upholstered armchairs in muted tones, or a simple chrome console. It will work well as a central piece in a living room, above a dining table, or in a modern hallway, where its strong color can break up a neutral background. It is worth combining with chrome, glass, or dark wood accessories to accent
