Vintage desk architect's lamp (FASE lamp), mid century flexo from the 1970s

Architect phase 67r flexo model with a 50cm long arm, in white. The lamp or spotlight measures 8cm x8cm x18 cm. Height of lamp 60cm, diameter of base 16cm. Good condition (with normal signs of use along the lamp, on the base, on the arm and on the shade) as seen in the photos, works perfectly. It rotates on the base on its axis and the base is ballasted for balance. Spanish lighting manufacturer fase was founded in madrid in 1964 by industrial designer pedro martín. It was "a very modern design proposal for the time, never seen before"... And it still is. Why. Because of the "totally original combination of metal and wood, fantastic chrome and a beautiful range of colours". And also for its incredible capacity for movement, "thanks to a sophisticated ball-and-socket joint system conceived by fase's early designers". As a result, fase became a very popular brand in spain and was also successfully exported to europe and the united states, becoming one of the biggest business successes in spanish industry in the 1970s. All the items sold by vintage place online are antique or vintage objects. They all lived a first life and their little signs of use are part of their charm. We try to describe them as best we can but if you have any questions please ask. It has a european plug, if you need the american plug, you can easily get a european to american adapter.
