Peter Ghyczy, Pair of Brass Table Lamp, Limited edition, Mega Watt, Netherlands, 1981

Rare set of ‘Mega Watt’ table lamps designed in 1981 by Peter Ghyczy. Only around 50 pieces were made, making a set of two pieces extremely hard to find. The lamps feature a build-in dimmer and are made out of hand casted brass with a polished stainless steel hood. 51 x 33 x 33 cm German designer Peter Ghyczy was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1940. After graduating, Ghyczy worked on a large number of designs produced by furniture makers and factories in Germany, including Vitra. Ghyczy’s most successful design in this period was the Garden Egg Chair (1968) for Reuter, which remains one of his most recognizable designs today and is one of the earliest known examples of a hinged chair. Conditions: excellent working condition with only slight signs of previous use.
