ABOUT PRODUCTID 10088
This beige table lamp, designed by Ivan Jakes for OPP Jihlava in the 1960s, exemplifies the consistent design language of its era, marked by organic forms and understated elegance. The opalescent glass shade, rendered in a warm beige with subtle yellow undertones, features a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. Resting on a circular, satin-finished metal base in a silvery tone, the shade forms a harmonious whole, free of visible joints or fastenings. The lamp’s construction is sturdy and cohesive, and both glass and metal remain in excellent vintage condition, with no signs of wear, chips, or restoration. Each lamp is distinguished by slight variations in the glass hue, reflecting its handcrafted nature. Condition: excellent, with no visible signs of use or damage.The lamp’s silhouette echoes postwar Czechoslovakia, where modernity was meant to coexist with everyday utility. The mushroom profile and opaline glass evoke the spirit of material and light experiments characteristic of the mid-century modern period. This piece "speaks" of a time when simplicity was the new luxury and light was intended to gently diffuse, creating an atmosphere of calm rather than dominance. The high-gloss glass reflects the room like a sheet of water, while the satin metal base tempers the effect, allowing the subtle qualities of both materials to stand out.This lamp pairs well with light wood furniture, geometric ceramics, or minimalist textiles
