ABOUT PRODUCTID 30201
The iconic Typ 12 spotlight lamp, manufactured by POLAM Piła in Poland in the 1970s, is a hallmark of Space Age design. The cylindrical metal lampshade stands out in a vivid, slightly warm yellow, contrasted by a matte black base and rear section that emphasize the piece’s geometric and industrial lines. The yellow shade features a semi-gloss finish, while the black base and arm are matte and subtly textured; visible screws and the scalloped edge of the hemispherical base complete the construction. The lamp is dual-purpose: it can stand as a desk lamp or be mounted on the wall as a sconce, thanks to its versatile mounting system. The adjustable shade allows for precise control over the direction of light. An original manufacturer’s label underneath confirms its authenticity, and the lamp is preserved in very good vintage condition—with paint chips around the rim of the shade and minor wear on the black base, typical signs of use that underline its industrial heritage.The interplay of yellow and black evokes an era when bold color blocking and clean lines expressed a belief in technological progress and a modern way of living. Every chip and scratch tells the story of a lamp that once illuminated daily life during a time of dynamic change. Its geometric silhouette and functional features echo the spirit of the 1970s, when design was both a servant to utility and a symbol of optimism and innovation.The Typ 12 lamp can serve as a striking desk light in a workspace or as an industrial sconce in a living room or hallway
