This Polish table lamp from the 1960s, known as the 'mushroom' lamp, exemplifies both functional design and bold character. Entirely metal in construction, it features a broad, conical shade in matte red paired harmoniously with a matching circular base. The white, perforated metal stem lightens the structure and allows soft light to escape through evenly spaced holes, while a silvery conical detail atop the shade adds a futuristic accent. Its proportions—a 32 cm diameter shade, slender stem, and overall height of 40 cm—reflect the space age tendencies typical of the era. The on/off switch is a discreet white button located on the base, and the original visible power cord maintains the product's authenticity. The lamp's assembly includes exposed screws and connections, characteristic of the honest craftsmanship of the 1960s. It remains in good condition, with minor signs of use such as subtle scratches and discoloration, but no major damage.The lamp’s form captures the spirit of discovery and optimism from the 1960s, when Polish design embraced modern influences and a fascination with space exploration. The red shade, like a luminous umbrella, gently diffuses light, while the perforated stem whispers of technological enthusiasm. Construction details and the matte metal finish signal an enduring narrative of striving for innovative simplicity and bold colour, still evident decades later.The 'mushroom' lamp can be placed on a desk
