Table lamp - Toucan -1980s Postmodern Memphis Style - Plastic

Toucan Desk Lamp – 1980s Postmodern Memphis Style In excellent condition – No reserve. Iconic 1980s Toucan desk lamp, designed by H.T. Huang and produced by Huangslite. With its instantly recognisable toucan-inspired silhouette, sculptural black-and-white body and oversized curved “beak”, this lamp is a quintessential example of the playful Postmodern / Memphis-era design language of the 1980s. The upper section forms the characteristic beak and houses the original fluorescent light source underneath. The highly sculptural construction makes the lamp as much a decorative design object as it is a functional desk or reading lamp. H.T. Huang's Toucan lamp has become a sought-after example of 1980s collectible lighting and is particularly appealing to collectors of Postmodern, Memphis Milano and Space Age design. A true eye-catcher with strong sculptural presence. Specifications Designer: H.T. Huang Manufacturer: Huangslite Model: Toucan / Pelican Desk Lamp Period: 1980s (approximately 40 years old) Style: Postmodern / Memphis / Pop Art Material: Plastic and metal Colour: Black and white Light source: Fluorescent tube Condition: Excellent preloved condition Function: Tested and fully working Dimensions: approx. 36 × 39 × 13 cm (h × w × d) A highly collectible piece of 1980s design — high-end quality, wonderfully sculptural and an unmistakable statement piece for any modern interior or design collection. Electrical disclaimer: Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use.
