The POLAM table lamp or wall sconce, designed by Lech Tomaszewski for the Artistic and Research Studios of the Academy of Fine Arts in the 1970s, embodies the distinctive spirit of Polish modernist design from that era. Its construction centers on a rotating wooden sphere in a warm, deep brown tone, mounted on a square wooden base with rounded edges and subtle wood grain. The composition is complemented by a decorative and functional cage made of silver-toned metal rods, lending the lamp a sense of lightness and structure. The exposed E27 bulb socket allows for the use of a decorative filament bulb, while the light beige cord (approximately 2.5 m long) harmonizes with the overall palette. The lamp measures approximately 20 cm in height, with a base of 9.5 × 9.5 cm. It is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of heavy use. All components are original and well-maintained.This lamp’s form speaks of the bold modernism of the 1970s, when Polish designers such as Lech Tomaszewski sought a new visual language for everyday objects. The wooden sphere balances between sculpture and function, while the metal rods create a dynamic frame that allows light to disperse freely. The piece carries the spirit of artistic experimentation and creative freedom—its lines and materials echo the energy of design studios and the pursuit of simplicity in form.The lamp can be placed on a coffee table or used as a wall sconce, where its sculptural shape becomes a visual focal point. It may be paired with other mid-century modern furniture, especially pieces featuring natural wood and metal details. Minimalist or collector’s interiors
