ABOUT PRODUCTID 10108
This table lamp, designed by Ivan Jakes for OPP Jihlava in the 1960s, exemplifies Czechoslovak modernism where sculptural form meets functional clarity. The base is crafted from ceramic in a deep, medium brown with a subtle gradient that transitions to a lighter, golden-brown hue towards the top. Its satin-gloss finish gently contrasts with the opaline glass shade in milky white. The shade seamlessly integrates with the ceramic base, providing soft and even light diffusion. The lamp’s harmonious proportions—cylindrical core and wide, flared top—reflect organic motifs typical of mid-century modern design. It is fitted with a light-colored power cord with a beige switch and European plug. The lamp remains in excellent vintage condition, with only minimal traces of use on the underside of the shade, which are completely invisible during daily use.The lamp’s form speaks in the calm voice of 1960s Czechoslovak modernism: restrained in detail but confident in scale and presence. Even when unlit, it stands as a domestic sculpture. The milky glass shade diffuses light softly and evenly, settling gently onto surfaces and creating a refined, balanced ambiance. This is an object that tells of a time when design merged artistic intent with everyday utility.The lamp can be displayed on a low sideboard of light wood or on a side table next to a minimalist sofa. It will suit interiors inspired by mid-century modern as well as eclectic collector’s spaces that appreciate bold forms. Pairing it with other period elements—opaline glass, ceramics, or matte metal—can emphasize its collectible provenance and gentle geometry of light.It is
