1960s Flora Folio pendant light by Piet Hein

Posted on | Leave a comment

Flora

I think this is called statement lighting. Unfortunately, the Flora Folio Pendant Light by Piet Hein comes with a statement price tag too.

Designed back in 1969, the aluminium and glass Flora Folio is designed to look like a large flower, with those 'leaves' looking good to the eye and also offering 'a perfect reflection of light'. It's very big too, produced for a large room, with a size of 65cm in height and a diameter of 60cm. Owners of low ceilings can walk away now.

But if you have a big room and a big wallet to match, you can pick up the Flora Folio pendant light for £3,399.

eBay watch: 1970s space age Colani flying saucer ceiling lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Colani

A fantastic space age design – and this Colani flying saucer ceiling lamp is currently available for just £1.

It's a superb design, one of the more distinctive of the era and not a commonly-seen one either, especially in this condition and in this shade of brown.

According to the seller, that condition is described as 'good above-average' and 'near mint', aside from a 'very few fine and slight marginal scratches'. All of which makes the current £1 price tag something of a steal.

eBay watch: 1930s art deco-style table lamp

Deco

According to the seller, it's from the era. If that's the case, this 1930s art deco-style table lamp is quite a bargain as it stands.

It's a black wood and chromed lamp, with its original stepped glass lampshade and an on/off switch at the base. Some minor damage – one chrome disc has minor wear for example – but if it is approaching 80 years old, that's not bad considering.

Right now, bids are at £33, which seems more than fair.

Eiffel Tower Table Lamp With black shade

Eiffel

No prizes for guessing where the Eiffel Tower Table Lamp With black shade got its inspiration from.

Yes, it's a mini replica of the iconic 1889 structure, the work of Gustave Eiffel and still the most obvious symbol of Paris to this present day. This mini version is a rather stylish metallic tribute, standing around 56cm tall and finished off with a plain black shade.

Graham and Green is doing pre-orders for it now, priced at £95.

eBay watch: Original 1970s Verner Panton Panthella floor lamp

Panthella

You can still buy these and you can find out details of the new ones in a previous post, but if you want an original Verner Panton Panthella floor lamp with a bit of age and less of a price tag, eBay is currently the place to be.

The original was designed in 1970 by Panton for Louis Poulsen. A space age classic, it had that stylish curved shape, made of high pressure moulded opal acrylic, with the supporting stand in high pressure moulded polycarbonate structure built around a steel stem.

This one is described as a 'very early edition', with a few tiny age marks to reassure you. It's also got the original paper label attached. £450 is the approximate price of a new one, but this one is on eBay right now for just 99p.
