O-look Pendant By Superstudio for Poltronova, 1968
Very rare Olook or Molok Lamp by Superstudio for Poltronova and distributed by Design Centre, 1968. The lamp features two adjustable hoods that can be moved up and down creating an eclipse like effect. The design also reminds of an astronaut helmet. Its acrylic diffuser has a grid texture and hides one light bulb. It bears a design centre label on the side and the best part of this particular lamp is that it comes with its original box and is best described as new old stock. It has taken out of its box for the "Radicaal Design Italiƫ -1966-1988" in Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, 2017.
