Pawn Table Lamp

Product detailed description

Glass lamp known as 'Pěšec' (the 'Pawn') designed in the 1970s by Ivan Jakeš for the state-owned company Osvětlovací sklo Valašské Meziříčí. Jakeš was the company's long-standing in-house designer and produced hundreds of designs for it, characterised by their simplicity and clean lines. However, his best-known creations are the chess piece lamps designed in 1970. The most iconic are the white Bishop lamps, though pieces representing other chess pieces were produced in a wide range of colours and exported abroad. The Pawn lamp is made from double-layered white opal glass. When switched on, the upper part glows with a warm, smooth gradient light. The lamp has been cleaned, it is fully functional and in very good original condition.
