When science and post-war lighting designers married, the modern
housewife of the 1950s suddenly had an incredible array of weird
and wild fixtures to choose from. New materials and production
techniques developed during World War II, and a new attitude
following it, collided to create the lamps we hate to love. Revisit
lamp patterns like amoeba, starburst, atomic, and, of course, the
indomitable lava lamp. Page through great figural TV lamps and a
generous sampling of floor lamps and table lamps of all shapes and
sizes in brass, plaster, Lucite, and ceramics. Each lamp is
illustrated in full color with newly updated market values to aid
collectors.
