ABOUT PRODUCTID 11634
The 'Mushroom' table lamp was produced in Poland during the 1950s, representing a clear example of utilitarian mid-century modernism. Its construction features a semi-spherical metal shade and a wide, low base in a cool matte silver finish, bearing visible patina and subtle discoloration. The central stem is crafted from black Bakelite, gently tapering upwards and lending the lamp a calm, balanced silhouette. A cylindrical red switch on the base serves as both a functional and visual accent, breaking the monochrome palette. Visible screws and the absence of ornamentation emphasize the industrial, minimalist nature of the design. The original black power cord and classic plug remain in good condition and show age-related marks, as does the metal surface, with minor scratches and oxidation, mainly on the base. The lamp is preserved in very good condition, with no major damage.This lamp carries the voice of postwar modernism: economical in means, clear in form, and focused on durability. The matte metallic sheen and the contrast between the black stem and cool silver shade reflect an era when practicality and simplicity were the foundation of design. The red switch appears like a graphic accent—a discreet reminder that even everyday objects could accommodate a touch of boldness. The patina and subtle traces of time lend authenticity, suggesting a long history of light extinguished just before sleep.The lamp may be placed on a bedside table, sideboard, or desk—its compact form never overwhelms the space, while the metal shade gently diffuses the light. It suits mid-century modern interiors, where it can be paired with simple wooden furniture or geometric accents. It could be combined with ceramics in shades of white and grey, graphite glass, or minimalist wall graphics. Coarse textiles, such as linen or thickly woven wool, would further highlight its industrial yet inviting
