ABOUT PRODUCTID 1363
This table lamp, designed by Apolinary Gałecki and produced in Poland in the 1960s, exemplifies the Space Age movement in Polish design. Its construction features a large, vertically ribbed, milky white glass shade with a satin-matte finish and pronounced vertical texture. The shade is anchored by a chrome-plated, spherical core, from which three conical metal legs radiate outward, giving the lamp a distinctive, dynamic tripod silhouette. The chromed elements contrast with the matte glass, and the lamp's proportions are defined by the dominance of the oval shade balanced on a slender, lightweight base. The original power cord remains in good condition, showing slight yellowing consistent with age. All components—including fittings and finishes—are authentic and original. The lamp is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible damage, dents, or repairs.This lamp resonates with the spirit of the 1960s: the interplay of chrome and satin glass evokes an era captivated by space travel and technological optimism. Its form is reminiscent of satellites and lunar landers from the dawn of the space race; the shade diffuses light into a soft, subtly futuristic glow. The three widely set legs suggest readiness for launch, as if the lamp were poised to depart from the desk, narrating the optimism and exploratory ambitions that shaped the era’s approach to design.The lamp could be paired with a minimalist lacquered wooden desk, a geometric shelving unit, or an armchair with clean lines to highlight its modernist heritage. It would work well in mid
