Europhon - Adriano Rampoldi - Table lamp (2) - Idea - ABS - Idea Radio-Lamp

Beautiful pair of radio-lamps with integrated AM radio produced in the early 1970s by the famous Europhon of Milan, designed by Adriano Rampoldi. The lot represents a unique opportunity for collectors and interior designers. This is not a single piece, but a symmetric pair (ideal as a bedside duo) presented in one of the rarest and most sought-after color variants, representing the Space Age era: Petrol Blue. The cylindrical "bullet" design blends ambient lighting with vintage electronics. The radio controls (power, volume and tuning of the Medium Wave) are recessed into the base slot via two knurled wheels. The light is two-stage in intensity and is adjusted with the two front-facing buttons. The radio, being AM, although functional, crackles and no longer receives stations that currently do not broadcast on that frequency. Features: - Manufacturer: Europhon Milano (Made in Italy) - Designer: Adriano Rampoldi - Model: Cylindrical Lamp-Radio - Base in molded ABS plastic, junction ring in plastic and/or chrome-plated metal, upper diffuser in white opalescent perspex/acrylic. Conservation and aesthetic condition: Both lamps are in generally excellent cosmetic condition, as extensively documented by the images. The ABS plastics are in good condition. One without cracks or burn marks, the other with some cracks but not affecting usability at all. Some time-worn marks on the domes and a small heat deformation on one of them, caused by incorrect bulbs (all extensively documented by the attached photos). The central chrome ring is shiny and free of significant rust blooms. The lower selectors are original and intact; one of the two has the plug that has been replaced over time. Attention: use bulbs up to 30W and if using LED bulbs ensure they are dimmable, otherwise the courtesy light won’t work. A truly beautiful and rare pair to find in these conditions and in this elegant color variant. Bulbs are not included. #Europhon, #AdrianoRampoldi, #SpaceAge, #Modernariato, #VintageLamp, #RadioLamp, #ItalianDesign, #70sDesign, #PopArt, #ABSPlastic, #Perspex, #MilanoDesign, #VintageRadio, #CollectibleRadio, #DesignCoppia, #BedsideLamps, #ArancioneSpaceAge, #RossoVintage, #LuceDesign, #PlasticDesign, #MadeInItaly, #CatawikiDesign, #InteriorDesign, #VintageElettronica, #AmbientLight, #RetroRadio, #AvantGarde, #Modernist, #MidCenturyModern, #RareSet,
