About the Item

Like twin moons suspended in orbit, this pair of German Postmodern table lamps casts a soft and otherworldly glow. Designed circa 1970, their futuristic form is grounded in elegance, merging industrial precision with sculptural poise. The brushed steel bodies rise in a gentle twist, catching light like silver ribbon, while the domed milk glass shades shimmer with a pearlescent sheen, subtle, celestial, and quietly captivating. The glow they emit is diffused and dreamlike, perfect for softening a space with a touch of light that feels more like atmosphere than illumination. Each base is solid and thoughtfully weighted, echoing the geometry of the shade above. There's a tension between balance and motion in their posture, a sense that they are both grounded and floating. A small chip on one shade and gentle marks on the bases serve as reminders of the decades these lamps have traveled through time. Unmistakably postmodern yet timeless in their presence, they are more than functional lighting. They are objects of light and line, ideal for the collector who seeks design with soul.
