Red Mag ball light pair by Abo Randers of Denmark, 1960s

Offered as a matching pair (the price shown is for both lamps together), these original Danish pop art Mag ball lamps were designed by P Bosque and made in the 1960s by the Abo Randers lighting company. The glossy pillar-box red ball-shaped heads are held in place by a magnet inside the black plastic base, and can be swivelled around to point in any direction. They can be used either as table lamps or as spotlights, and the bases can be screwed to a wall or shelf – the magnet is strong enough to hold the steel lamp head in place, even upside down. The heads have a diameter of 12cm, and the lamps stand 14cm tall in total. They have European-style two-pin plugs and (non-matching) inline on/off switches. They take a small Edison screw golfball bulb max 40w (not supplied) and are in very good original condition with only minor wear (see photos).
