WoW! This lamp is a vision! A marvelous mid century design
that is clean, stylish and yet so functional!
Bill Lam Studios was one of the pioneers in using molded fiberglass
in lighting and this lamp is a wonderful example of his tilting fiberglass
shade reflection lamps.
A huge 14" fiberglass shade sits on a clean steel frame that
follows the lines of the simple ebony cone shade.
Here it can be tilted about 40 degrees to either side of the frame.
The result puts light where you want it most!
An elegantly brass trimmed push button turns the lamp off/on.
This is a wonderful surviving lamp with original black enamel
in very fine shape. The steel frame is really nice and the
fiberglass is still superb. Presents beautifully!
This is a really rare lamp and a monumental find for the
collectors of early "pure" mid century modernism
which had its golden age from 1945-1953.
Perfect for your Case Study Home, Palm Springs
atomic ranch home or West Palm Beach estate!
