Description

Desk Lamp, designed by Josef Hurka, Lidokov, Czechoslovakia, 1970s

Table lamp designed by Josef Hurka and manufactured by Lidokov in the 1970s – an example of functional Czechoslovak design, with visible characteristics of the aesthetic that developed after Expo 58, often referred to as the “Brussels style.” The adjustable shade height allows the light beam to be directed precisely, enhancing its usefulness both as a desk lamp and as accent lighting. The piece remains in its original technical condition, without modern alterations, which is significant from a collector’s perspective.
