Description :

1980s Postmodern UFO Table Lamp, Glass Disc Shade with Metal Base

Vintage postmodern UFO-style table lamp dating to the 1980s, featuring a thick circular glass disc shade with a central domed diffuser. The shade is supported by a minimalist black metal frame with twin vertical posts and a weighted round base, creating a balanced, architectural silhouette.

The layered glass construction produces a soft, ambient glow when illuminated, while the low-profile disc form reflects the futuristic design language popular in late 20th-century postmodern lighting. Lamps of this type were often used as accent or desk lamps and are now sought after for their sculptural presence and strong visual impact.

This example closely matches documented 1980s postmodern “UFO” lamps offered through major design marketplaces and aligns in scale, materials, and construction.

Dimensions: Approx. 15" W x 15" D x 16" H

Condition: Good vintage condition with light surface wear to the metal base and frame consistent with age and use. Glass disc and central diffuser are intact with no visible cracks or chips noted. Tested and working at time of cataloging. Please review photos for full condition details.

Notes: Postmodern UFO lamps emerged in the late 1970s–1980s as designers explored space-age forms, simplified geometry, and material contrast. Examples with thick glass shades and metal bases remain highly collectible and are frequently featured in modern and contemporary interiors.

Estimated Value: $600–$1,000
