Mid-century mushroom table lamp in red and white, Europe, 1970s
This striking mid-century table lamp captures the playful yet elegant spirit of 1970s European design. With its distinctive mushroom form and vibrant color combination, it brings a joyful touch to any interior while remaining timelessly modern.
The lamp features a large, glossy red acrylic shade that beautifully contrasts with the white sculptural base. A second, inner opal acrylic diffuser casts a warm, even light, making it both functional and decorative. The slender neck with a metal detail adds a refined, graphic element that emphasizes the lamp’s elegant silhouette.
Though the designer remains unknown, the lamp’s quality and aesthetic suggest influences from iconic European designers of the era, such as Vico Magistretti or Giancarlo Mattiolo. Its balance of color, form, and function embodies the best of 1970s modernism.
In very good original condition with minimal signs of age, this lamp is a wonderful statement piece for design enthusiasts seeking a unique vintage touch — ideal for living rooms, studios, or any space that benefits from a bold yet refined presence.
