The New Look table lamp, designed by Wiesława Gołajewska in 1963, is a distinct example of Polish modernism from the 1960s. Its tripod base is crafted from porcellite and finished in a cool, light grey glaze. The base’s surface is boldly textured, reminiscent of tree bark, with subtle glossy highlights in the recesses, creating an engaging play of light. The lamp is topped with a simple, conical shade made of smooth, matte white fabric. The minimalist silhouette and balanced proportions reflect the era’s focus on materiality and function. The lamp retains its original, working electrical installation with a black power cord and inline switch. It accommodates an E14 bulb socket. The piece is in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of heavy use.This model echoes the voice of Polish design from the 1960s, where functionality and artistic experimentation were intertwined. The porcellite base, with its organic surface, recalls a time when natural inspiration was sought as a counterbalance to the industrialization of the era. The matte glaze and clean lines of the shade diffuse the light gently, accentuating the textured surface beneath. The lamp seems to whisper stories from a period when Polish design was finding its own language—balancing geometric discipline with freedom of form.It can be paired with period furniture, such as a high-legged sideboard or a low veneered coffee table, to highlight its modernist origin. The lamp works well in a bright living room with accents of natural materials like wood or linen. It is worth combining
