1959 Remkraft White Orb Table Lamp with Adjustable Swivel Base, USA
About the Item
A rare and iconic 1959 table lamp by Remkraft, featuring a spherical white enameled metal shade mounted on a pivoting armature over a rounded weighted base. This classic piece of American mid-century industrial design reflects the burgeoning optimism of the atomic age, blending sculptural form with functional adaptability.
The adjustable globe shade rotates and tilts to direct light precisely where needed, ideal for use as a task lamp or ambient accent. The original rocker switch and green felted base are intact, along with the early polarized plug (labeled with original safety notice on the underside).
A standout example of space-age lighting produced during the height of American modernism, this Remkraft lamp embodies the era’s fascination with minimal, orbital forms and technical precision. A must-have for collectors of 1950s design or fans of Bauhaus-inspired utility with playful flair.
