About the Item

A rare and highly sought-after "Torpedo" desk lamp, designed in 1969 by Tomás Diaz Magro for the legendary Spanish manufacturer, Fase Madrid. Fase lamps are icons of Mid-Century European design, celebrated for their build quality and distinctive, often Space Age-influenced aesthetics. This model perfectly captures the era's forward-looking style. Its characteristic elongated head features a striking contrast between the warm, richly grained wood central band and the sleek white lacquered metal shade and base. A polished chrome articulated arm allows for smooth adjustment, directing light precisely where desired. The lamp is a sculptural statement piece, embodying the sophisticated blend of organic and industrial materials typical of Fase's most desirable creations. Its quality construction and timeless design have made Fase lamps fixtures in stylish interiors and design collections worldwide. Presented in excellent vintage condition, this lamp has been professionally tested and is ready for safe and immediate use in Australian homes (240V). A superb example of iconic Spanish Mid-Century design. Matching pair available.
