Polished Aluminum Pagoda Lamp - Model 1 by Daughter Mfg
About the Item
Pagoda Lamp Model 1 is one half of a pair of lamps designed and fabricated during 2021. The inspiration is the Peace Pagoda in San Francisco's Japantown neighborhood designed by Yoshiro Taniguchi, constructed in the 1960s.
The center column of the lamp is constructed from pieces of 1/8" aluminum sheet that have been polished on all sides and assembled into a circular lattice structure. Each opening in the lattice has individually poured "windows" made from a clear epoxy that have some small bubbles and irregularities that mimic a hand-made glass. The windows are pierced by 1/16" diameter brass rods that run the length of the circular lattice and help to hold the windows in place. The interior is lit by a T-10 elongated bulb, which sits slightly proud of the top surface of the lamp.
There are a total of four spun pieces of 1100-series aluminum that adorn the circular lattice, comprised of the top cap (1) and mini-shades (3), which are equally spaced along the length of the circular lattice structure. These have all been hand-polished. The top cap is held in place with a snug slip fit (which can be easily taken on and off), while the mini-shades are held in place with small machined brass connectors and 4-40 brass slotted roundhead screws.
The base is constructed from two 1100-series aluminum shells that have been spun and hand-polished. Circular tool marks left by the spinning process have been left behind to add visual interest. The interior of the base houses a large black-anodized aluminum ring, roughly 7/8" thick, that is used to join the halves together and houses the vintage AH & H ball-head toggle switch. A 7'-long camel hair-colored cloth cord (1/4" diameter) and vintage two-prong brown phenolic plug complete the base.
This lamp and its sister were used as platforms to explore several ideas and manufacturing techniques that we were interested in and took roughly 10 months to fabricate. This is a one-of-a-kind prototype and will not be reproduced.

- Vintage Italian Modern Lucite & Chrome Lamp Polished Aluminum Shade by Noel B.CBy Noel BCLocated in Topeka, KSStunning vintage Italian modern Lucite and chrome table lamp with polished aluminum shade, chrome shaft, and solid Lucite and chrome stacked discs by Noel B.C. Italy. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The shade has a few dings & creases from use in our opinion it does not detract from its amazing look. The lamp retains its original cord with inline switch. It is in perfect working condition. There are no outstanding flaws in the lucite and there is a slight darkening in the chrome somewhat like tarnish and cleaning has not removed, but it does not detract from its over-all beauty. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1970’s. Note: Shipping is possible via parcel which may reduce shipping costs. Mamma Mia...Category
