Minimalist desk lamp, France 1950

About the Item

Modernist desk lamp in green lacquered metal and brass, France 1950. The two-light diabolo reflector is articulated by a ball joint, placed on a tubular metal base. A lever nut allows the shaft to slide and pivot. The minimalist design of this light gives it a discreet elegance, its charm lies in its aerial line and details such as the bulge of the nut holder, the passage of wire at the base and the reflector ring. This creation is similar to the lights of Maison Lunel, Arlus or Mathieu.
