Description
Bring an unmistakable 1970s Space Age silhouette into your interior with this authentic European mushroom table lamp.
Crafted during the golden era of plastic and lacquered metal lighting—in the distinct style of French maker Aluminor and Dutch lighting houses like Herda and Dijkstra—this piece balances sculptural simplicity with a warm, atmospheric glow.
Design & Construction. A generous translucent white acrylic (perspex) dome sits atop a sleek, two-piece white-lacquered metal tulip base with a rolled metal rim.
Crowning the shade is a dark perforated metal diffuser cap and matching finial knob that vents heat upward while casting soft light circles across the ceiling.
• Hardware & Lighting. Beneath the shade, an internal U-shaped metal wire harp supports the dome and connects to a single E14 (small Edison screw) socket. When lit, the opal-white acrylic transforms a standard bulb into a soft, glare-free ambient orb.
• Condition Report. Very good vintage condition. As shown in the underside and profile photos, the acrylic shade is bright and free of cracks or heavy yellowing, the white lacquer retains a clean sheen with minimal age-related wear, and the internal wiring and socket are intact and working.
