Swiss 'Quick 1500' Articulated Table Lamp by Alfred Müller for Amba, 1930s

$2,400.00

A Swiss 'Quick 1500' articulated table lamp by Alfred Müller for Amba, dating to the 1930s.

The domed shade is finished in a soft green lacquer, its broad, rounded form balanced by a slender stem and articulated arm in chrome-plated metal. The adjustable construction gives the lamp a functional quality, allowing the shade to be positioned with precision while maintaining its clean silhouette, characteristic of early Swiss modernism.

The contrast between painted metal and polished chrome gives the piece its visual rhythm. Green brings warmth and character to the geometry, while the chrome details catch the light along the joints, fittings, and base. 

Its articulated arm makes the function visible, movement, adjustment, and utility becoming part of the design itself.

ADDITIONAL DIMENSIONS: Arm Extend: 14" to 24"; Adjustability: 360 Degrees

ORIGIN: Switzerland

PERIOD: 1930s

MATERIALS: Chrome, Metal
