This lamp is a vintage Lytegem desk lamp, designed by Michael Lax for Lightolier circa 1965. While original Lytegems are iconic mid-century modern pieces featured in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the specific finish on yours is considered rare.

This is used. It is not mint. It is in great condition. The ball has a small ding and the black base plastic slide is missing a small corner piece. Refer to pictures for condition.

• Rarity: The combination of a chrome cube base with a wood grain top and a black "eyeball" head is much less common than the standard solid-colored plastic or all-chrome.

Key Features

• Telescoping Arm: The chrome rod can extend to adjust the lamp's height, typically between roughly 6 and 16 inches.

• Adjustable Head: The "eyeball" or orb head swivels and pivots to direct light.

• High Intensity: It is designed as a high-intensity task lamp, often featuring two light levels. Comes with led bulb sized to match the original bulb.
