This vintage pendant lamp is a design by John and Sylvia Reid for Rotaflex, known as the early 'Sugarball' model. The design is characterized by the spherical shade with a unique, spun texture that provides a warm, diffuse light distribution.
The lamp is made of plastic with a brass-colored metal pendant and ceiling rose. The shade has a golden-yellow tint that lights up beautifully when the lamp is on. The fixture reflects the innovative material experiments of the mid-century period.
The object is in good vintage condition with an authentic patina on the metal parts. The plastic sphere is intact and retains its original shape and texture.
This fixture fits perfectly into a mid-century modern or eclectic interior. It is an atmospheric addition above a dining table or in a seating area.
