This iconic lamp was made by FASE in Spain in the 1960s. It's an iconic design and this particular colour scheme is rare.

FASE was established in Madrid in 1964. Featured in numerous films, TV series - including Mad Men- and design magazines, they have become an international object of desire.

One of their most salient characteristics was their ability to move through a sophisticated ball and socket joint system devised by FASE’s early designers: the head is articulated or even fully rotates, and the base swivels. Their distinctive glass diffuser also became a trademark of the Spanish company.

The company was founded by a self-made man, Pedro Martín, a turner who used to sell the lamps he designed and manufactured in Madrid’s street market and who in just a few years, when the company had considerably grown, moved to Torrejón de Ardoz in the outskirts of Madrid to a factory that became the headquarters of one of the biggest success stories of Spanish industry in the 70s.
