About the Item

Lidokov type S102 Brusel 1958 style. In the 1960s, the former socialist republic of Czechoslovakia stands out as a producing country of high quality interior design of elegant simplicity. The style is strikingly modern with a line that is clean and gentle. This boost of Czechoslovakian design is rooted in the success of the 1958 Brussels World Fair (Brusel style). The team of architects, artists and designers responsible for the Czechoslovak pavilion are granted an exceptional artistic freedom under the Communist regime. Just two years prior to the World Expo ’58, the gathering of the Communist Party during the 20th congress in Moscow had pronounced that the capitalist West would be better fought with by technological, artistical and cultural advancement then with traditional military means. The Czechoslovak contribution to Expo 58 expresses exactly this growing conviction of artistic achievements over military force. Six million people visit the pavilion, which is awarded the best pavilion of the Expo 58. At the exposition "A Day in Czechoslovakia” international visitors indulge in the achievements of socialism. They can enjoy the elegance and comfort of a design that depicts a progressive vision of communist lifestyle; one that welcomes a new modernity, self-confident and free of the dogma's of the early 1950s. A uniquely well preserved exemplar out of the legendary Lidokov lighting factory. This lamp, or better, this colourful bunch of flowers will lighten up your day and night. This floor lamp is suitable for E27 Edison Screw (ES) light bulbs (3 x 40 watts) for Europe and E26 ES universal line-voltage light bulbs for the USA.
