Black and Chrome Desk Lamp Model 71 by JUMO, France, 1960's

This desk lamp had us intrigued, with it's functional and rational design based on geometric forms and shapes. Made in France in the 1960s and 70s by JUMO and attributed to the Designer André Mounique, this lamp combines the functional sobriety of the Bauhaus movement with the stylish elegance of French design.     

The lamp base consists of a heavy cast iron counterweight and is covered in a rounded and ribbed black metal with chrome plates on the sides. Two elegantly shaped chromed rods connect the base to the ribbed black metal lampshade, allowing the shade to be height adjusted as needed. The lampshade is fitted with two sockets for B22 bayonet cap lightbulbs, which are inserted with a "push and twist" action. A white push button switch, placed at the center of the base, turns the the light on and off.

The lamp is in good condition with only few signs of its age and use. There is a small dent in the ribbed metal cover of the base on the front righthand side (please refer to photos).

With a lifetime of stories behind them, our vintage design items come with a bit of character. 
Like the best of us, they may have picked up some scratches and scuff marks, acquired patina, and that original shine may have faded a little. And like with most of us, the internal struggles are not always visible to the outside world. 
Our second-hand items may not fulfil state-of-the art safety standards and codes in your region. Inner faults may exist that were missed by us. Please always consult with a certified professional before installing any electrical items.
