Modernist Table Lamp Type 3530 by Carl Jucker for Napako, 1930s

This is an original Modernist Table lamp produced in the 1930’s by a Czech Company Napako. It was designed by Carl Jucker, who later became famous for his design of the now iconic table lamp (in collaboration with Wilhem Wagenfeld). This collaboration took place when he was a student at Bauhaus in the studio of legendary László Moholy-Nagy.

The lamp itself is quite small and low. The main design feature is the steel lampshade. Its lampshade is somehow similar to the shape of the British army helmets of the WW1. This lampshade can be adjusted up and down and has a c shaped steel rod which is fixed to the flat circular metal base that also holds an off/on switch.

The good original vintage condition shows minor natural wear to the polished steel. On some parts of the lampshade, the piece has acquired a patina which adds unique charm and character. The inside of the lampshade was painted white for better light reflection; this surface remains in very good condition with some small wear. There is a new cable with the plug socket which is in the style of the authentic design. The on/off button and the bulb holder are original and the lamp is fully functional.
