This midcentury adjustable wall lamp by Pifco, made in Britain circa 1950, is a charming example of postwar functional design with a utilitarian edge. Designed for versatility and durability, the lamp features a metal conical shade—often finished in classic ivory, grey, or industrial green—paired with an adjustable arm and pivoting head that allows for directional light wherever needed.
Originally intended for use in domestic or light industrial settings, the lamp’s compact form and clever engineering made it a practical solution for reading nooks, bedside lighting, or workspaces. The wall-mounted bracket and articulated joints offer excellent flexibility, while the minimalist silhouette reflects the pared-back, purposeful aesthetics of 1950s British design.
With its subtle patina and honest materials, this Pifco lamp carries a sense of midcentury authenticity. A collectible piece with timeless appeal, it works beautifully in both vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors.
