Fase Madrid model GEISHA Grey version, by Luis Pérez de la Oliva, 1967

The Fase Madrid Model GEISHA in the grey version, designed by Luis Pérez de la Oliva in 1967, is a sculptural and refined example of mid-century Spanish lighting design. This elegant lamp, notable for its geometric and minimalist aesthetic, was also produced in gold, but the grey finish offers a more understated and modern appeal.
 
Standing 45 cm in height with an 11.5 cm diameter shade, the lamp features a unique box surrounding the shade, securely screwed into the cone of the lampshade. This innovative detail reflects Luis Pérez de la Oliva's ability to blend form and function seamlessly. Its angular design and clean lines make it reminiscent of the FARO 70 and FARO 70 G models, yet the GEISHA presents a more contemporary and striking appeal.
 
The grey stem, consistent with the lamp’s cohesive color scheme, enhances its sleek and minimalist design. However, it does display some scratches, as visible in the images. These minor imperfections are a testament to its vintage nature and add character to the piece. First showcased at SIMO 1967 and featured in Fase’s advertising materials, this lamp remains a standout in their collection.
 
In good vintage condition, this piece is a perfect example of Fase’s innovative and timeless design philosophy, making it a prized addition for collectors and mid-century design enthusiasts.
