Both the stem and shade are made of chrome, with the shade adjustable to different angles. A small black detail on top of the shade completes the design. The combination of chrome and black gives the lamp its distinctive look, while the adjustable shade makes it practical as well as decorative.
Dutch lighting design in the 1960s and 1970s was influenced by the growing interest in modernism, functionality and new materials. Designers experimented with metal, chrome and plastics, often combining simple geometric shapes with practical, adjustable elements. Lighting became more than just a functional object, with an increasing focus on form and the relationship between light and space. This period produced designs that balanced functionality with a playful approach to shape and construction, reflecting the changing interiors and lifestyles of the time.
Condition
The stem, base, and shade show age- and use-related wear consistent with a lamp produced in the 1950s. The pivoting mechanism operates smoothly, and the original on/off switch remains functional.
