This functionalist arc floor lamp from 1930s Czechoslovakia features a curved tubular steel construction with an integrated table surface. The design is a characteristic example of Czechoslovak modernism, whose approach was defined by functional solutions, clean lines and a dynamic formal language.
The chrome-plated tubular steel frame is complemented by partially lacquered elements and polished aluminum details, while the oak-veneered surface provides a warm contrast to the metal. The spherical opal glass shade produces soft, diffused light. The lamp is height-adjustable and rotates 360 degrees.
Similar versions were manufactured during the 1930s by Czechoslovak tubular steel furniture producers such as Mücke-Melder, Robert Slezák and Hynek Gottwald.
The lamp has been carefully restored and newly rewired and is in very good, ready-to-use condition.
