The Lidokov L193 table lamp, designed by Josef Hurka in the 1960s in Czechoslovakia, represents a prime example of Central European modernism. Its body is crafted entirely from metal—a vivid, glossy red finish envelops both the flat, round base and the large, dome-conical lampshade. The sculptural, zigzag-shaped chrome stem adds a dynamic, geometric accent typical of the period, while the white interior of the shade enhances light reflection and creates a crisp contrast with the saturated exterior. Minimalist connections between the base, stem, and shade are marked by visible screws and a subtle red accent at the joint. The lamp stands stable and proportionate, balancing the visual dominance of the shade with the lightness of the base. The condition is excellent—the lacquer and chrome surfaces are well preserved, with only minor signs of wear such as faint scratches on the base, and no dents or chips.This lamp echoes the energy and optimism of the 1960s: the bold color and geometric silhouette reflect how Czech design of the era sought harmony between function and expressive form. The red metal tells a story of a time when daring color choices signaled modernity and a forward-looking spirit. The zigzag chrome stem is more than a technical feature; it is an expressive gesture that roots the lamp in the language of modernism, where light and form shared the narrative of everyday life.The lamp can serve as a striking accent on a desk, console, or sideboard in the living room. It pairs well with furniture featuring clean, modernist lines—such as teak desks from the 1960s, steel shelving units, or minimalist bookcases. One could combine it with other saturated colors or let it stand out against a neutral palette for a bold effect. Mid-century modern interiors, eclectic collector’s spaces, or contemporary arrangements with vintage accents will benefit from the lamp’s distinctive and
