Authentic mid-century pendant lamp produced in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s by the Žukov glassworks.
The lamp features a large shallow glass shade decorated with iconic atomic arrow motifs in soft pastel orange and blue – a classic design language of the Brussels style era inspired by the optimism of the Space Age.
The minimalist suspended metal structure perfectly complements the graphic glass design, creating a beautiful warm diffused light when illuminated.
Pieces like this were designed to bring modern elegance to interiors of the 1960s and today they fit perfectly into mid-century, vintage, Scandinavian or eclectic interiors.
