Rare and highly collectible Space Age floor lamp designed by Rafael Carreras for Tramo, an iconic piece of 1970s Spanish design. Its unique transparent spherical shade encloses an orientable spotlight in red, achieving a futuristic and vibrant visual effect. The lamp rises on a chrome tubular structure with clean lines very representative of Tramo's aesthetics.

Its sculptural presence and strong visual identity make it a perfect accent for those seeking lighting with character and originality.

This lamp reflects the technological and formal trends of the early 1970s: synthetic materials, transparency, spherical volumes and vibrant colors.

Rafael Carreras, Tramo's key designer, developed innovative models that responded - as he himself wrote - to "new needs" in modern homes (Carreras, 1971). This lamp is featured in several Spanish design reference publications, such as ADI FAD's Design Selection 1973 and in Juan A. Blanch's La iluminación en la decoración moderna (1973), which highlights its functional approach and advanced formal language.
The design perfectly summarizes the experimental spirit of the time, combining visual lightness, focus mobility and a polished industrial structure.
