Pair of Philips Table Lamp, Line Manhattan, 1980s
About the Item
The "Manhattan" table lamps by Philips Creative Line are a pair of illuminating artifacts straight from the design revolution of the 1980s. With their origin in the United Kingdom, these lamps are emblematic of the futuristic aesthetic that was prevalent during the era.
Each lamp features an anthracite grey fixture, a color choice that adds a sophisticated industrial feel, embodying the sleek, modern design trends of the time. The central feature of these lamps is the light blue diffuser—a transparent, circular disc that adds a pop of subtle color and a dreamy quality to the light emitted.
The design is both functional and artistic, with the ability to pivot the blue disc upwards or downwards. This versatility allows the user to adjust the direction of the light according to their needs, whether it be for a diffused ambient glow or a directed light source for reading and tasks. Furthermore, the luminosity of the lamps can be altered, providing an option for varying the intensity of the light to suit the mood or the time of day.
These lamps are a testament to the creative explorations in form and function by designers of the 1980s. Their design is not just about providing light; it's also about adding a statement piece to a room. The "Manhattan" lamp is an example of how everyday objects can transcend their utilitarian purposes to become works of art, reflective of their cultural and historical context.
