About the Item

A perfectly Space Age foldable desk lamp that brings playful Japanese ingenuity to mid-century modern and postmodern design loves. Designed by Yamada Shomei in the 1970s, this iconic Manon lamp features an origami-inspired folding mechanism crafted from durable plastic with metal components. The ingenious built-in switch turns the lamp on when opened and off when closed, transforming everyday functionality into interactive design. Its compact, minimalist form and vibrant aesthetic make it ideal for desks, nightstands, or wall mounting. Winner of the prestigious iF Design Award in 1984, the Manon lamp represents Japanese design excellence at its finest. The clever hinge mechanism and sculptural form elevate this piece beyond simple lighting into a collectible statement of innovation and craftsmanship. In good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. 7” x 2.5" x 7.5”
