Famous table lamp designed in the 1960s in very good original condition.
Designed by French architect and designer Georges Frydman.
This desk lamp was produced by EFA (Équipement Fonctionnel de l’Habitation) and exemplifies the functional elegance of mid-century French design.
The lamp features a circular marble base supporting a pivoting chromed metal rod, allowing for adjustable positioning. It is complemented by a black lacquered metal lampshade, paired with a white Perspex reflector that diffuses light effectively while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.
A discreet switch integrated into the chrome cylindrical element at the top of the lamp enhances its streamlined design.
The lamp is fitted for a B22 bulb.
Georges Frydman was a French architect and designer active during the mid-20th century, closely associated with the principles of modernism and functional design. Working primarily in the post-war period, Frydman focused on creating objects and interiors that combined clarity of form, practicality, and refined material choices.
In addition to his architectural work, he designed furniture and lighting that reflected the emerging ideals of modern living in France during the 1950s and 1960s. His designs were often produced by EFA (Équipement Fonctionnel de l’Habitation), a manufacturer dedicated to well-designed, functional objects for everyday use.
Frydman’s work is characterized by clean lines, understated elegance, and technical precision, making his designs enduring examples of French mid-century modern design.
