Pamono Midcentury Modern Gispen Lamp by Willem Hendrik Gispen for Gispen, 1970s

Playful little table lamp, stylish at the same time. Sometimes wrongly attributed to Angelo Lelli, founder of Arredoluce. This lamp is a design of Willem Hendrik Gispen, founder of the Gispen company around 1915. Originally introduced in the 1930’s. Subsequently reintroduced in the 1960s, as part of the now famous GISO line. This rare orange version is one of those re-issues, made in the 60’s. What makes this lamp special, is that the upper part slides up and down the vertical metal arm, hence its name: Schuivertje, which translates as Slider, or little Slider. The orange metal parts conceal a cilinder of thick, white frosted glass that creates a cosy lighting when lit. You can vary the distance between the two metal bits to let less – or more – light shine through. The lamp is in excellent condition, with some regular traces of use. Height can vary from about 15 to 25 centimeters. It uses a regular E14 light bulb, 40W max
