Specifications & Dimensions:
Designer: Adriano RampoldiManufacturer: Europhon (Italy)Period: 1970s / Space AgeHeight: 21 cmBase Diameter: 15 cmWeight: 1075 grams (1.07 kg)Socket: E14 (suitable for modern LED bulbs)
Condition & Working Order:
Cosmetics: Excellent vintage condition. The orange and white plastic components are beautifully glossy, with no melt marks from bulbs, dents, or significant yellowing. The chrome band is bright and clean.
Lighting: Fully functional. Both light intensities (soft atmospheric glow and full light) work perfectly via the front buttons. Please note a minor, very typical vintage loose contact only when the lamp is moved while turned on, which is standard for original 1970s electrical components.
Radio: The AM radio turns on and emits its original vintage static hiss. Please note that since it operates exclusively on Medium Wave (AM/OM), it does not pick up modern stations due to the permanent shutdown of European AM frequencies, which is historically correct for this collectible piece.
