Table lamp - Chrome, Glass, Metal - In style of Fase model 520C
No. 91917443
Mid-Century Model 520 Table Lamp in the style of Luis Perez de la Oliva, 1970s
The Mid-Century Model 520 Table Lamp, inspired by the style of Luis Pérez de la Oliva and produced during the 1970s, offers a unique glimpse into design adaptation under political influence. This lamp is a copy commissioned by Salazar’s dictatorship in Portugal, showcasing the broader influence of Spanish design during that era.
While it retains the hallmark elements of the original 520 Lamp — including the sleek silhouette, curved chrome arm, and rounded shade — this version differs slightly in size and shape, adapting the design to fit local production and aesthetic preferences. Despite these differences, the lamp preserves the distinctive 520 look, making it instantly recognizable.
The lamp features a matte black finish paired with a chrome stem, a striking combination that complements its mid-century modern aesthetic. The base-mounted switch, accented in orange, adds a subtle retro touch while maintaining its practical functionality.
This lamp stands as both a functional lighting piece and a historical artifact, reflecting the cross-cultural adoption of design trends during a time of political restriction. A rare find, it is perfect for collectors of mid-century lighting or those intrigued by the intersection of design and history.

Thank you Karl
Few of the pieces (5 or 6) have a different patina from all the others and this was not said in the description or made visible in the pictures. For the rest averything ok
View translationSeller's response
Sorry but pieces with over 50 years are supposed to gain different patina. And you can see it clearly on the images. I could have mentioned it, but for me was clear enough on the images. But giving me neutral evaluation besides of being unfair, is going to lower my overall evaluation. It was the first time I've got a neutral evaluation. I did a lot of effort on the packaging as I always do. A lot of effort on a quick shipping, and I feel you have not been fair enough. I hope you enjoy the pieces the same I did for the last 20 years collecting them.
