Tutte le lampade della linea Stoja erano infatti dotate di "una protezione fissa in plexiglas o acrilico che impediva ai bambini di toccare la lampadina. Le lampade non avevano bordi taglienti che potessero ferire il bambino. Se si fosse verificato un incidente, i paralumi erano realizzati in plastica bianca infrangibile.Le lampade erano realizzate in faggio e truciolato e laccate in rosso, giallo e blu, ed erano chiaramente ispirate al design postmoderno del gruppo italiano Memphis. La serie comprendeva una lampada da scrivania, una lampada da soffitto, una lampada a sospensione e due tipi di lampade da parete. Entrarono nella gamma nell'ottobre 1987 e furono lanciate nel catalogo del 1989." Tratto dal sito IKEA Museum. Di fatto la stessa Ikea ammette essersi ispirata a Ettore Sottsass ed al gruppo postmodernista Memphis durante lo sviluppo del progetto Stoja.
A charming table lamp developed by IKEA starting in 1987 and intended to safely furnish children's bedrooms.
All lamps in the Stoja line were equipped with a fixed plexiglass or acrylic guard that prevented children from touching the bulb. The lamps had no sharp edges that could injure a child. In case of an accident, the lampshades were made of shatterproof white plastic.
The lamps were made of beech and particleboard and lacquered in red, yellow, and blue, and were clearly inspired by the postmodern design of the Italian Memphis group. The series included a desk lamp, a ceiling lamp, a pendant lamp, and two types of wall lamps. They were added to the range in October 1987 and launched in the 1989 catalog. Taken from the IKEA Museum website. In fact, IKEA itself admits to having drawn inspiration from Ettore Sottsass and the postmodernist Memphis group when developing the Stoja design.
The lamp for sale is in good overall condition and in working order (bulb not included). However, it has some small imperfections to the lacquer. The vertical adjustment mechanism works reasonably well, as does the horizontal rotation mechanism. The acrylic protection has been lost. However, the lampshade shows no defects except for a very slight yellowing at the top (it's difficult to find intact like this). All of this is shown in the photos, which are an integral part of the description. Maximum height 40 cm.
