Fifty Fifty lamp designed by Paul Talman for Interaktives Licht Köln

Special fifty fifty lamp designed by the swiss paul talman in 1965 and produced by interaktives licht köln. The lamp consists of an aluminum frame in which 9 plastic balls are placed with an 'on' (white) and 'off' (black) side. By turning the balls, a different pattern with a different play of light is created each time. This lamp can be used freestanding as a table lamp or as a wall lamp. The whole is in almost new condition. The frame is in new condition and all the letters on the balls are intact. Here and there is a tiny scratch on a ball but this is hardly visible. Paul talman was a swiss painter, sculptor, graphic artist and designer. He had a deep interest in the relationship between color and movement. His works were included in museums worldwide. It has no attribution mark, however it is well documented in design history.
