EDUARD ALBORS (Valencia, 1949) for Lamsar, Valencia.
“Doddó” table lamp, 1970s.
Brushed silver metal.
Measurements: 33 x 20 x 20 cm.

Designed in the 1970s by the acclaimed Valencian industrial designer Eduardo Albors, the Doddó table lamp is a true icon of Mid-Century Modern design. This version in brushed silver metal is an exceptional piece that perfectly captures the retro-futuristic aesthetic of the era, adding a touch of timeless elegance and industrial character.

Produced by the now-defunct Valencian firm Lamsar—with which Albors collaborated closely, leading both product design and visual identity—the Doddó lamp stands out for its pure geometry and ingenious functionality. The piece consists of a sturdy tubular metal base that houses two distinctive ornamental switches made of black plastic, creating a sophisticated visual contrast. Crowning the structure is an adjustable spherical shade, designed to allow the user to direct the beam of light with complete precision, adapting to the needs of any space.

Eduardo Albors, a key figure in the evolution of Spanish design and a founding member of historic collectives such as Caps I Mans and La Nave, conceived this lamp as a versatile work within his prolific career. This particular metal version is an ideal collector’s piece to bring life to desks, sideboards, or side tables, blending the history of Valencian design with an impeccable sculptural presence.
