Minimalist desk lamp, Massive, Belgium, 1980s

A minimalist desk lamp produced by the Belgian manufacturer Massive in the 1980s. The adjustable arm is made of chrome-plated steel, while the base and shade are made of high-quality black plastic. The arm and shade can be adjusted to achieve a wide beam angle. The switch is located on the cord. The lamp’s minimalist design allows it to work well in a variety of interiors.

Massive is a Belgian manufacturer that grew out of the family business De Jaeck. Pieter-Jozef De Jaeck founded a bronze foundry in Wilrijk, where he also produced chandeliers. In the 1970s, his son Eddy joined him and they began producing lamp fittings on an international scale. In the 1980s and 1990s, Massive was a leader in lighting fixtures in Belgium and Western Europe.

The lamp is preserved in its original vintage condition. It has minor signs of use consistent with its age. Requires a G6 12V 50W bulb.
