This futuristic-looking table lamp is the kd29 model, designed by joe colombo in 1967 for the italian manufacturer kartell.representing the radically modern design of the 1960s, the kd29 combines form, function, and material innovations in a clear, iconic silhouette. Made of abs plastic in glossy black and creamy white, it captivates with its rounded, organic design language, strongly influenced by the space age style. The semi-dome-shaped lamp shell rests on a raised base on one side, which merges into the circular base and also serves as a support for the light source.a special feature of the kd29 is the shelf integrated into the base with four differently shaped recesses – ideal for storing small items such as office accessories, coins, or jewelry.the light source is mounted horizontally in the upper part of the shade and is diffused by an opaque plastic hood, creating a pleasantly soft, downward-directed light. The switch is elegantly recessed into the shelf, while the power cable runs discreetly across the back. In this design, joe colombo exemplarily combined futuristic aesthetics with practical everyday usability – a hallmark of his work and typical of kartell\'s early design history.condition: the lamp is in good overall condition. The black outer shell shows a few light scratches and minor signs of wear, typical of glossy abs plastic from this era. The cream-colored shelf shows some age-related yellowing and slight discoloration. The technology has been tested, the cable is original, and it functions flawlessly. dimensions: diameter 25 x height 33 cmstory.
