A wonderful example of 1950s modernism by Mitchell Bobrick. The lamps exceptional elements provide it with a sculptural character, typical for Bobrick's work. Manufactured by Controlight. Differing from previous modernist movements, US-modernism was characterized by less rigidity and functionality. Californian designer Bobrick embodies this paradigm, shared by fellow designers Greta Grossman, Greta von Nessen, Ben Seibel and Lester Geis.
