Table lamp of fluid Space Age design based on a spiral shaft and an oval lampshade. Space Age is the name given to the period in which the space race began in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik. This fever to conquer space also reached design, and during the sixties and seventies a model of decoration was developed based on an idyllic vision of the future, and everything to do with spaceships, new technologies and innovative materials.

Fase lamps are distinguished by their impeccable design, functionality and quality of materials. A true emblem of Spanish manufacturing, Fase has exported its lighting to more than 32 countries in the last 30 years. Fase's early designs are considered modern, with original combinations of metals such as chrome and steel, with marble and wood, in a range of bright colors. Often, the fixtures could also be moved thanks to a sophisticated swivel system devised by Fase's early designers, which soon became a trademark along with its glass diffusers. Important Fase designs included Boomerang 64, Boomerang 2000, 520, Faro and President, between the 1960s and 1980s.
