This floor lamp with an integrated side table, designed by Robert Slezak for Thonet in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, is a striking example of Bauhaus-inspired design. The structure consists of a continuous, curved tube of chrome-plated steel, seamlessly connecting the circular oak tabletop and the spherical, frosted opaline glass lampshade. Both the tabletop and the base are crafted from medium-dark oak, finished smoothly with visible wood grain and trimmed with a chrome rim. The chrome elements offer a reflective, mirror-like surface, showing subtle patina in places, while all metal-to-wood joints are executed with precision. The lamp’s proportions are carefully balanced, with the table positioned for practical, comfortable use—the interplay of light and surface creating a unified, functional object. All elements, including the period-appropriate cord and switch, remain authentic. The lamp is in very good vintage condition, with only minor patina on the chrome and minimal wear to the wood—no significant damage or repairs. The form of this lamp tells the story of pre-war Central European modernism: geometric lines, the cool sheen of metal, and the warmth of oak evoke interiors where functionality met avant-garde experimentation. The opaline glass shade diffuses light into a soft, unobtrusive glow. Slezak’s work here resonates with Bauhaus clarity—every
