This Mid-Century floor lamp from the 1960s combines two unusual forms: an organically bulbous glass base and a steeply rising shade in vibrant red. The base is executed as a sphere of milk glass, separated from the stem by a brass ring. At the top sits a conical shade made of red fabric, the so-called pagode, which extends far upwards and sets a striking colour accent in the room.
The milk glass of the base has an organically rounded shape that appears calm in its white opacity and optically contrasts with the red shade. With a total height of 143 cm, this 1960s floor lamp is designed as a dominant light source. It is illuminated indirectly through the glass base and downwards through the shade, creating a soft light character.
The vintage floor lamp unfolds its effect best in the living room of an old apartment or in a high-ceilinged room with parquet flooring. The combination of a white glass base and red pagode shade was typical for the German living room style of the early 1970s and is rarely found today as a functional piece.
