THIS ICONIC FASE 520C TABLE LAMP BY LUIS PEREZ DE LA OLIVA FEATURES A STRIKING GOLD (OR MUSTARD-COLORED) FINISH, EMBODYING THE SLEEK AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN OF MID-CENTURY SPANISH INDUSTRIAL STYLE. ITS METAL LAMPSHADE, EQUIPPED WITH A BALL JOINT, ALLOWS FOR ADJUSTABLE POSITIONING, ENABLING LIGHT TO BE DIRECTED AS NEEDED WHILE ALSO EXTENDING OR SHORTENING THE LAMP’S OVERALL HEIGHT. THE GRACEFULLY CURVED CHROME STEEL ARM CONNECTS TO A WEIGHTED BASE IN THE SAME COLOR, ENSURING BOTH STABILITY AND ELEGANCE. THE LAMP STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FROSTED GLASS DIFFUSER, SOFTENING THE LIGHT FOR A WARM AND INVITING GLOW.

THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE STANDS OUT DUE TO ITS EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, RETAINING ALL ITS ORIGINAL COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE PAINT, WIRING, AND CHROME FINISH. THERE ARE NO DENTS OR RUST, AND THE ORIGINAL GLASS DIFFUSER REMAINS FLAWLESS—WITH MINIMAL SCRATCHES AND NO CRACKS—WHILE MAINTAINING PERFECT TRANSPARENCY. WHILE MINOR SIGNS OF AGE ARE VISIBLE, SUCH AS SMALL PAINT SCRATCHES ON THE BASE, FINDING A FASE 520-C IN THIS WELL-PRESERVED STATE AFTER MORE THAN 60 YEARS IS RARE.

THE FASE 520C IS A TRUE ICON OF SPANISH INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FROM THE 1960s AND 1970s. BEYOND ITS UNDENIABLE AESTHETIC APPEAL, IT HAS BEEN WIDELY RECOGNIZED IN FILM AND TELEVISION, FREQUENTLY CHOSEN BY ART DIRECTORS FOR ITS TIMELESS STYLE. IT HAS APPEARED IN NUMEROUS SPANISH AND INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS.
