ABOUT PRODUCTID 36786
This Space Age table lamp, designed by Ingo Maurer for Housel in Germany, is a quintessential 1970s piece defined by its geometric spiral form. The base is crafted from robust, chromed metal shaped into an open coil spring, lending the lamp a dynamic, sculptural quality. A large, spherical shade of milky white glass sits atop the spiral, contrasting with the mirror-like chrome for a harmonious effect. The palette is distinctly cool-toned—silver and opaline white predominate. The pale beige cord with a white inline switch blends subtly into the overall design. The construction is notable for its precise detailing and solid build. The lamp is preserved in very good condition, with only subtle traces of patina on the chrome, consistent with its age and the recent refreshing and polishing of the metal surface.This lamp evokes the optimistic voice of an era that looked to the future: its spiral form suggests the dynamism of space travel and a fascination with technology, hallmarks of the 1970s. The chromed spring appears as a frozen gesture—a symbol of energy paused in time, never losing momentum. The milky white glass shade diffuses light softly and evenly, casting an even glow—almost as though the lamp were telling stories of a time when design dreamt far beyond the everyday.The lamp can be placed on a low console, sideboard, or occasional table, where its spiral silhouette becomes a striking focal point. It is well suited to interiors inspired by the Space Age or mid-century modern style, as well as contemporary spaces with a minimalist backdrop. Pairing it with
