About the Item
The Black Presidente “Pendulum” Desk Lamp, designed by Luis Prez de la Oliva and Pedro Martn Garca for Fase in 1963, is an iconic example of mid-century Spanish design. Patented a year before Fase’s founding, this lamp represents the foundation of the companys design language, blending elegance with functionality. As detailed in Fase, the Book – The Mystery Solved, the Presidente was “the starting point from which the design would go on to characterize Fase’s future range of lamps with its use of shapes and materials.”
This lamp’s versatility is unmatched, featuring a swiveling base and a shade that pivots in all directions, allowing for both precise task lighting and ambient illumination. The arm, crafted from rich wood and a curved chrome rod, provides warmth and contrast to its sleek black finish.
Equipped with two E27 sockets behind a durable PMMA diffuser, it delivers a soft, even light. The black finish adds a bold sophistication, making it a timeless piece for any setting. This particular lamp retains its original markings, including the “Fase” stamp on the base and plug, affirming its authenticity. It is in excellent vintage condition, with minor marks visible in the images, further emphasizing its character and history.
The Presidente remains a coveted design piece, reflecting Fase’s legacy of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless style.Creator: Luis Prez de la Oliva (Designer),Fase (Manufacturer)Dimensions: Height: 22.05 in (56 cm)Width: 27.96 in (71 cm)Depth: 11.82 in (30 cm)Power Source: Plug-inVoltage: 220-240vLampshade: IncludedStyle: Mid-Century Modern (Of the Period)Materials and Techniques: Acrylic,Chrome,Metal,WoodPlace of Origin: SpainPeriod: 1960-1969Date of Manufacture: 1963Condition: GoodWear consistent with age and use.
