Mid-century desk lamp Model 50S by Rico Baltensweiler, Switzerland 1960's

A Model 50S swing arm desk lamp with metal shade and base coated in black lacquer. Designed by Rico Baltensweiler in the 1960's for the Swiss manufacturer Baltensweiler. This functional and elegant lamp has a pivoting arm that can be rotated through 360 degrees, while its shade can also be angled in various positions. The light switch is nicely hidden at the top of the lampshade. The lamp shows light signs of use but remains in very good original condition.
