Vintage Italian Memphis Era Desk Lamp in White Perforated Metal, Orientable Arm
About the Item
This is a cool little desk lamp, dating back to the early Eighties and crafted in white and black metal. The main arm can be tilted and oriented, and the lampshade can be rotated, thus directing light in the preferred direction.
Some details, like the lampshade and a circular opening in the base, are rendered in perforated metal, which add a mechanical and interesting touch to the piece. The overall style suggests a Memphis group inspiration behind the design of the lamp, but there are no attribution marks or labels in support of this theory.
Anyway, the fixture is in perfect working condition and comes complete of a light bulb. It is operated through a switch, which is integrated in the base and visible in pictures; the wire and plug are original Italian/European standard for 220/240V alimentation.
