Pifco 983 Telescopic Desk Lamp designed by Pierre Cardin

Designed by Pierre Cardin, the Pifco 983 is a small telescopic desk lamp with a somewhat space-age look which dates from the 1970s. The white shade and body contrast with the black panel which features a switch which provides low and high intensity settings as well as turning the lamp off. This particular telescopic lamp is one that retracts and folds into a compact form when not in use. The shade is positionable and the telescopic arm extends almost 40 cm (16 in.). The base itself is a rectangular curved shape approximately 12cm (4¾ in.) by 7cm (2¾ in.) by 7cm (2¾ in.) .

This one is in very good condition. There is minimal discolouration to the white plastics (as is sometimes the case), there are no chips or cracks to the shade or the body, and it is solid and fully functional. In summary, this is a very good example of this particular variety of lamp.
