Vintage 1964 Genuine KD8 Kartell Joe Colombo Space Age Retro Orange Table Lamp
Beautiful original item.
RARE FIND IN ANY CONDITION.
This small table lamp was designed by Joe Colombo for Kartell in 1964. The base is made of white / opaque methacrylate and contains the light source. The bulb holder (E14 in brass and ceramic ) is supported and fastened to the base by three small black painted brass profiles that fit into the holes in the lower part of the white cylinder. The oran...ge methacrylate shade is cylindrical and has three circular holes of different diameters. Only loosely placed on the base, it is possible to rotate it to adjust the intensity of the light emitting from the three holes. The methacrylate base and shade are made by bending a rectangular slab of material to a cylinder, so there is a vertical junction on the side. This method of making suggests that it is a first production when vacuum forming technology had not yet been developed. The hypothesis is probably confirmed by the fact that Kartell's label is not on the object. The lamp shows no cracks, breaks, or deformations. The electrical system is original and fully functional.
Please see pictures - what you see is what you will get.
This will come with the LED bulb - lights with no heat, preventing any melting of your lamp.
