This is an original table lamp manufactured by the Czech company Napako in the 1930s. It was designed by Carl Jucker, who later became famous for his design of the now iconic table lamp (in collaboration with Wilhem Wagenfeld). This collaboration took place when he was a student at the Bauhaus in the studio of the legendary László Moholy-Nagy.
The lamp itself is quite small and low. The most important design feature is the steel lampshade. This lampshade can be adjusted up and down and has a round metal bracket that is attached to the flat, round metal base, which also contains an on/off switch.
The good original condition shows slight natural wear on the polished steel. In some areas of the lampshade, the piece has taken on a patina, giving it a unique charm and character. The inside of the lampshade has been painted white for better light reflection; this surface is in very good condition with slight signs of wear. The on/off button and bulb holder are original and the lamp is fully functional. As the sale is from private ownership, any liability for material defects is excluded.
