Only 21 centimeters high, the table lamp is made up of a base and lampshade in enamelled metal, painted from top to bottom in a variety of colors ranging from emerald green to red, from white to black, in perfect harmony with the color palette strong in vogue in that decade.
from the base the design rises voluminously upwards
The dome shade that tops the lamp is attached to a swivel that allows it to be moved around the bulb
from this point of view, the external appearance of the Jucker could make it similar to a sleepy eye: the lampshade is a sort of eyelid which, weighed down by sleep, closes over the light bulb, the eyeball. Of particular importance, therefore, is the ingenious system of the tilting lampshade: it moves around the bulb, allowing the quantity of light to be varied on a scale that goes from a simple low illumination when the lampshade is lowered, to a strong illumination when the lampshade is raised to its maximum opening point.
In 1962 Tobia Scarpa joined Pier Giacomo Castiglioni as a designer for Flos, the lighting company that was already the leader in the lighting products market at the time.
Scarpa continued to work for Flos throughout the 1960s and part of the 1970s, perfecting designs that incorporated recent halogen lighting technology.
Unfortunately the Jucker was taken out of production in 1995, following substantial changes to the Flos catalogue.
The seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.
