Description
Bakelite lamps are a new interpretation on a familiar material and shape. Those with a penchant for billiards or bocce ball will recognize the spherical base. And Bakelite is the first heat and solvent resistant plastic ever developed...a material that was a major factor in the growth of the automotive industry as well as being used for such items as the ubiquitous black telephones from the early 1900's. Today, a hundred years since its birth, the mention of Bakelite might conjure up visions of scuffed collectibles on ebay. Neither scuffed nor faded are these polished little bedside lamps in the bright hues of billiard balls - canary yellow, orange, fuchsia, blue, mauve and black.
