ABOUT PRODUCTID 11734
This table lamp, designed by Ivan Jakes in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s, stands out with a silhouette inspired by a chess piece. Entirely crafted from glass in a warm, pale yellow hue, it features a high-gloss finish reminiscent of porcelain. The coloration is consistent, with soft tonal transitions highlighting the edges and gentle curves of the form. Its geometric, sculptural lines and balanced proportions—a flared base and faceted top—are characteristic of mid-century modern aesthetics. The lamp shows no visible signs of damage, chips, or cracks, and its highly polished surface retains the original glass sheen. Condition: very good, with no evidence of heavy use or restoration.This lamp echoes the story of 1970s modernist Czechoslovakia—a period when designers explored new forms by drawing from both glassmaking traditions and a fascination with geometry. The lamp’s shape, reminiscent of a chess piece, evokes the calm of a strategic game and a balance between function and ornament. The mirrored glass surface reflects light, evoking an evening atmosphere in a living space where gentle reflections move across the walls, and the warm yellow tone introduces a subtle, collectible accent.Placed on a low wooden or marble sideboard, the lamp’s sculptural presence becomes a distinct yet unobtrusive focal point. It can be combined with other 1970s lighting fixtures or minimalist accents such as graphite ceramics or books on modernism. In mid-century modern interiors, it pairs well with warm wood tones and simple woven textiles; in eclectic arrangements, it may serve as a subtle counterpoint to more decorative elements, emphasizing its geometric inspiration.
