Product description
Designed by Ivan Jakeš and produced by Osvětlovací sklo in Valašské Meziříčí during the 1970s, this sculptural lamp reflects the distinctive aesthetics of Czechoslovak lighting design of the period. The form takes inspiration from the chess piece Bishop (Střelec), expressed through a bold geometric profile and smooth, flowing contours.
The lamp features an opalescent glass upper section paired with a ceramic (glazed) base, creating a refined contrast in materials and surface textures. The glass shade emits a soft, warm glow, while the solid base anchors the composition visually. The piece is preserved in good vintage condition, showing no cracks or chips, and remains fully functional.
With four pieces available, this model offers an opportunity to incorporate a cohesive and iconic element of Czech mid-century glass design into various interior settings.
