This striking vintage desk lamp, manufactured in the former USSR, exemplifies classic Soviet-era industrial design.
Made most likely from carbolite—a material closely related to Bakelite and commonly used in mid-century Soviet manufacturing—the lamp has a deep, rich black finish with a beautifully curved arm and dome-shaped shade.
Its bold, sculptural form and robust construction make it a standout piece for any collector of 20th-century design. The lamp’s arm adjusts at the base and the head, allowing for practical directional lighting while maintaining its strong visual identity.
The underside is marked in Cyrillic with:
“Завод Карболит Орехово-Зуево”
which translates to:
“Karboleet Factory, Orekhovo-Zuevo” – a well-known Russian manufacturer specializing in plastic and electrical goods during the mid-20th century.
A fantastic example of utilitarian elegance, this lamp brings both function and historic character to your interior.
Fully functional and meets modern standards.
