Space Age desk lamp, white metal, chrome-plated steel, red glass, Germany,

Unique medical and desk lamp from the 60s/70s, originating from Germany, representing a striking example of Space Age and Mid-Century Modern style. The lamp body is conical in shape, made of warm white lacquered metal, resting on an angular geometric base of satin-finished and slightly shiny metal rod. The back and adjustment buttons are made of black plastic, probably Bakelite, while the front is adorned with a ribbed pane of intense red glass, typical of infrared lamps. The proportions are compact, with precise lines, highlighting the functional and minimalist character of the design. The surface of the lampshade is matte and smooth, while the red element stands out with its shine and texture. The lamp allows for angle adjustment for precise lighting. In very good condition: only slight signs of patina on the base and subtle wear on the varnish are visible, with no major damage or repairs. All elements, including original screws and fittings, are authentic and well-preserved. This object evokes the 60s, when technology and design merged in an optimistic vision of the future. The red glass, once a filter for infrared rays, recalls a time when even utilitarian objects aspired to be practical and visionary. The geometric base and contrasting colours refer to an era when minimalism served both comfort and aesthetics. This lamp can be used as a desk lamp, display lamp, or bedside lamp – its characteristic shape fits well into mid-century modern, minimalist, or eclectic interiors. It pairs well with a light wood desk or a metal console, as well as with elements featuring clean lines to highlight its geometric rhythm. In a vintage lighting collection, it can contrast with classic ceramic or clear glass lamps, underscoring its technological origin and colourful touch against neutral walls. Height: 21 cm, width: 13 cm, depth: 16 cm. Made of lacquered metal, chrome or stainless steel (base), red glass (pane), and plastic/Bakelite (back elements and buttons). Designed for an infrared bulb or a standard white/warm light bulb. Condition: very good, fully functional product, with natural signs of use typical of the era.
