Elegant and timeless Magneto tripod floor lamp designed by Dutch designer H. Fillekes. Both the lampshade and the feet stand in innovative but nonetheless harmonious balance and are of nickel-plated and lacquered metal, adjustable with a magnetic ball joint in countless positions lending the lamp its name. Manufactured by Artifort. The lamp was manufactured in the founding time of Artifort from 1954 - 1958, the reason why only a smaller edition was produced making it a particularly rare piece. It has become a Dutch Design icon. Fillekes designs can be compared to the ones of Gino Sarfatti, Rosmarie & Rico Baltensweiler.
