Germany, 1970's
 
A striking 1970s German Space Age floor lamp by Richard Essig, designed with a sculptural chrome frame, textured glass illuminated sections, and a bold cylindrical orange fabric shade. Distinctive, architectural and full of period character, this lamp captures the playful modernity and futuristic glamour of 1970s European lighting design.
 
The slender chrome stem is accented with two beautifully textured glass elements, adding depth, sparkle and sculptural interest to the piece. When lit, the glass catches and diffuses the light with a jewel-like quality, contrasting elegantly with the warm glow of the tall orange shade. The circular wood-effect base adds a grounded, decorative finish, balancing the lamp’s clean vertical profile.
 
Produced in Germany circa 1970, this Richard Essig floor lamp is a wonderful example of Space Age design, combining polished metal, glass and vibrant colour in a highly decorative form. Its compact footprint makes it especially versatile, ideal beside an armchair, in a hallway, bedroom, reading corner, studio apartment or curated mid-century interior.
