ABOUT PRODUCTID 20208
The 'Laufer' table lamp, designed by Ivan Jakes in 1970s Czechoslovakia, draws inspiration from the bishop chess piece. Crafted entirely from opaline white glass, it features a cool, neutral white tone and a smooth, high-gloss surface that reflects light and accentuates the fluidity of its lines. Its monolithic, sculptural form combines a domed, pointed top, slender neck, and broad, rounded base. Free from patterns or color accents, the lamp focuses attention on the purity of its material and the play of light. A white cord with a discreet inline switch completes the minimalist composition. The lamp is in very good condition—its glass surface shows no discoloration or significant signs of age, with only a minor chip at the base as a testament to its vintage authenticity.The 'Laufer' embodies the voice of 1970s modernism in Czechoslovakia: a story of reverence for clean lines, glassmaking skill, and functionalism that forgoes ornamentation. The opaline glass diffuses light softly, and like a bishop on a chessboard, the lamp maintains a discreet yet distinctive presence. Its silhouette evokes the tranquility and clarity of interiors where sculptural simplicity played a central role.The lamp can be paired with mid-century modern furnishings, especially dark wood veneers or teak, where its glass purity stands in contrast. It would work well atop a low sideboard, console, or accent table beside an upholstered chair, letting its diffused light create a gentle atmosphere. Consider combining it with geometric artwork or matte ceramic vessels to highlight its minimalist, sculptural character.
