Yasha Heifetz won a MoMA-sponsored lighting competition in 1950 or 1951.
He produced table lamps that incorporated wood-carved or ceramic bases usually in a typical 50s 'biomorphic' design. He created smaller objects including sculptures and is also known for his "Rotaflex" or "Rotoflex" line of plastic lamps.
They were a Connecticut-based company, but had a store in midtown New York City during the 50s. There is no evidence that Heifetz existed beyond the early 1960s. His works are highly collectible and his graceful designs have stood the test of time.
