The 1970s version of the Idell desk lamp by Kaiser is now something of a rarity. It remains however a stunning looking and expertly engineered piece of mid-century German design
Of steel construction with matte black finish to base and shade, the head of the lamp rises on a chromed gooseneck Which allows for variable height. A ball joint allows the head to swivel in any direction.
Bearing an attribution label inside the shade and fitted with black plastic cable and a black 13 amp plug. The lamp is operated by a switch on the base.
Along with a 1930s model this particular lamp has been on my desk for several years, and has never let me down as a functional and beautiful statement piece.
In excellent working order, there are a couple of minor marks to the paintwork on base and shade as can be seen in the images.
