"Tiburón" Desk Lamp by Luis Peres de La Oliva for Grin Luz, 1960's

About the Item

This unusual and rare model, "Tiburón" desk lamp, was designed by Luis Perez de la Oliva and manufactured by Grin Luz, in Spain during the 1960's. The lamp has a swiveling base and the shade swivels in all directions as well. The arm is a blend of wood and curved chrome rod. It is equipped with 2 E27 sockets behind the glass diffuser. The design is similar to the Fase President Lamp, also designed by Luis Perez de la Oliva. It is in the original and good condition. “Nonetheless, in our opinion, the most attractive lamp that Luis Pérez de la Oliva designed for Grin Luz is model whose name is unknown, like all the other models of this brand, and for which we have not been able to find a patent. It is a lamp that has the typical Fase look of which we have talked about (rotating ball-bearing base, familiarly shaped shade, cooling glass diffuser; swivel shade, wood in the base), but it bears a unique trait: the arm has a very particular shape that, at least to us, is reminiscent of a shark fin. We therefore take the liberty to temporarily baptise this model Tiburón (Shark), at least until a Grin Luz catalogue shows up. It was offered in two finishes: in paint-to date we have found it in black, Corinthian red and grey-or in chrome. Because all the models have a chrome arm, the chrome version, which also has a chrome cooling glass diffuser, chrome base, and chrome shade, is simply spectacular. Your two authors have a particular weakness for the chrome version of this lamp, which is part of their personal collections.“ in Fase the book - mystery solved by Óscar Jiménez Serrano and Juan Luis Goméz Frieiro. 2018.
