When removed from its stand the lamp can be hung from the ceiling as a small pendant light. Approximately 15cm high. 10cm wide. Fully working good vintage condition with signs of age & use as shown in the photos. This lamp is in particularly good condition for a lamp of its age. _____________________________________________________________ It has a European plug but we can fit a British/Irish, Aus/NZ plug or American plug. It takes a E14 SES bulb, maximum 40w. If used in the USA/100/110/120v we recommend using a low energy/LED bulb, maximum 7w. You can use a low cost E14>E12 adapter to enable it to take E12 bulbs, which are more easily available in North America although E14 bulbs should be available online. _____________________________________________________________ Frandsen's 1968 design was probably influenced by Verner Panton's 1959 'Topan' Lamp. The Frandsen Ball was originally produced as a 18cm wide pendant & magnetic wall lamp in brown & orange, the fashionable colours of the day, The magnetic wall lamp, in particular, became extremely popular in Denmark in the 1970s/80s & most Danish homes would have had at least one. These days ball lamps are made by the Frandsen company in China, but back then they were made by several Scandinavian lighting companies. _____________________________________________________________ Note that we have attempted to show & state the condition as accurately as possible but this is a pre-loved, vintage item & some minor signs of age and/or use are to be expected. There may also be slight variations in the colours shown due to lighting, the camera lens & the device the image is viewed through. _____________________________________________________________ Follow us @scandiwegians on social media to see our latest arrivals Danish Frandsen Silver Ball Table Wall Lamp Enamel Chrome Magnetic Vintage Retro Light Atomic Era 1970S 1980S
