ABOUT PRODUCTID 30708
This ceiling lamp or wall sconce, produced by the Promień Cooperative in Wieliczka at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, is a notable example of Polish mid-century modern lighting from the PRL era. The construction features a large, spherical shade made of glossy, milky-white glass with a smooth finish, structured into three distinct, rounded tiers—an element that lends the lamp a geometric, retro-futuristic presence. The upper section is accented by a black cylindrical component, likely bakelite or painted metal, offering a stark contrast to the soft white glass. The lamp is suspended from a white cord and finished with a matte, conical ceiling rose made of plastic. Materials include glass, plastic, and bakelite. All elements appear original, with no visible signs of restoration or replacement. The overall proportions highlight the dominating globe shade, balanced by carefully stepped detailing. The lamp is preserved in very good condition, with no cracks, chips, or significant signs of wear. The form of this fixture reflects the spirit of the late 1960s and early 1970s—a period in which Polish design embraced modernity, experimenting with plastics, glass, and geometric forms. The stepped shade echoes architectural references from the Space Age, while the interplay of glossy and matte surfaces conjures the ambiance of PRL-era interiors, where soft, diffuse light was central to everyday life. This lamp seems to narrate a story of optimism and innovation, embodying the vision of designers who saw lighting as a functional
