ABOUT PRODUCTID 19696
This mid-century table lamp, manufactured by AKA Leuchten in East Germany during the 1970s, exemplifies the era’s industrial approach to modernist design. The lamp’s vivid, glossy crimson tone defines both the broad, domed aluminum shade and its flat circular base, establishing a bold presence. These red elements are juxtaposed with the cool, matte texture of brushed steel in the arm and lamp holder, creating a visually balanced composition. Geometric lines and carefully measured proportions, coupled with a subtly angled stem, lend the lamp a sense of architectural lightness despite its industrial roots. Atop the shade, the cylindrical steel socket features vertical ventilation slits, discreetly underscoring its functional intent. Exposed hardware and visible screws reinforce the piece’s mid-century authenticity, as does the original cream-colored power cord. The adjustable shade affords flexible lighting direction, making the lamp fully operational for modern use. Very good condition overall, with only minor, age-appropriate surface marks typical for the 1970s; no major damage, repairs, or excessive wear.The crimson hue of this lamp recalls an era when bold color and technical discipline shaped the design landscape of a rapidly modernizing Europe.

Light diffuses through the wide, reflective dome and across the matte steel, conjuring a mood of quiet concentration that defined interiors of
