UFO copper ceiling light by Josef Hurka for Napako, 1930s

Designed by Josef Hurka for the Czechoslovak manufacturer Napako in the 1930s, this original ceiling light reflects the functional clarity of Czechoslovak Modernism.

Its distinctive circular form is defined by a wide spun copper shade surrounding an inner diffuser made of sandblasted glass. The restrained geometry and functional construction create a remarkably contemporary appearance.

The lamp remains in good original condition. The copper surface has developed a natural patina over the decades and shows minor signs of age and use consistent with its history.
