UFO Table Lamp from Aluminor, France 1970's
A striking example of French space-age design, this UFO table lamp was produced by Aluminor in the 1970s. With its sleek, futuristic silhouette, this lamp embodies the experimental aesthetics of the era, merging form, function, and innovation in one sculptural piece.
The saucer-shaped chrome-plated shade gives the lamp its distinctive UFO-like appearance, while a white ring between the chrome diffusers enhances the design, creating a Saturn-like ring effect when illuminated. The adjustable chrome arm and pivoting shade allow for directional lighting, making it both a practical and highly decorative object. The weighted circular base, finished in polished chrome, adds stability while enhancing the lamp’s elegant and industrial appeal.
This lamp has been fully re-chromed and professionally rewired, ensuring both its aesthetic brilliance and safe functionality. Aluminor, a French lighting manufacturer renowned for its avant-garde designs, was at the forefront of the space-age movement, creating lighting that reflected the fascination with science fiction, space travel, and modern materials.
A must-have for collectors of space-age, mid-century modern, and postmodern design, this lamp will complement interiors ranging from minimalist to eclectic with its futuristic yet timeless aesthetic.
