Mid-Century Modern tubular steel desk lamp, featuring a sculptural circular base that seamlessly flows into a vertical support and an adjustable spotlight head.
The lamp has a minimalist, almost Bauhaus‑inspired aesthetic—clean lines, brushed stainless or nickel steel, and a black flexible cable looped as a visual accent.
This design echoes classics like the Giso 404 piano lamp (1927), crafted by J.J.P. Oud—known for its asymmetrical cantilever and cylindrical form—a hallmark of functional yet artistic lighting. Lamps of this era married form and function, creating pieces that double as sculptural elements.
Likely dating the late 1960s, this example doesn’t appear to bear a signature, but it references Scandinavian or Dutch minimalist influences in its refined geometry and understated elegance.
The spotlight head is adjustable, perfect for focused task lighting, while the continuous tubular structure provides both stability and visual flow.
Condition: Excellent vintage state—some mellow patina adds character, mechanics are solid, and it has been rewired for safety.
