The Hanau table lamp from the 1960s embodies the industrial and functional design language typical of mid-century medical equipment. Its large, hemispherical shade in a warm ivory tone with a matte finish contrasts with a cylindrical base crafted from dark brown or black glossy Bakelite. The metal band, featuring distressed white paint and visible wear, adds a distinctive vintage character, while the dark metal arm and exposed adjustment mechanisms—with visible screws and joints—allow for a wide range of height and angle adjustments. The rotary switch, set on the base and marked with vintage-style numerals, is complemented by ventilation slots and a thick, fabric-covered power cord. Fitted with an E27 bulb socket, the lamp retains all original construction elements. In good condition—with paint chipping and surface wear that reinforce its authenticity and period charm. This lamp speaks with the voice of an era when technology and functionality shaped form. Its unembellished construction recalls a time when light was primarily a tool, not a decoration. The gentle patina, paint chips, and signs of use narrate the story of daily routines and spaces where reliability was paramount. The matte shade softly diffuses the glow, while the Bakelite base evokes the atmosphere of laboratories and medical offices, where precision and simplicity were inseparable from robustness.
