A slender vintage table lamp with a rocket-like silhouette, formed by an elongated opal plastic body above three splayed black-finished metal legs. When illuminated, its translucent moulded form becomes a softly glowing vertical column.
Description
The lamp’s white body rises through a compact cylindrical centre into a long, tapered upper section. Below, three fine black legs spread out like a graphic launch structure, giving the piece its distinctive upward-reaching profile.
This formal resemblance to a rocket is a visual reading of the design rather than a documented model name. Lit or unlit, the contrast between the luminous white body and the dark tripod base gives the lamp a clear Space Age presence.
Design Maker History
The design relies on the contrast between a lightweight tripod structure and a vertically extended translucent form.
