Sale price$240.00

Description
Bring a piece of Australian design history home with this matched pair of Norax 6/1 desk lamps — one in olive green and one in nutty brown. These mid-century pieces capture a moment when Australian makers were reinterpreting modernist strip-fluorescent lighting for local interiors. Each lamp has a flexible gooseneck for directional lighting and a push-button switch on the base.

Historical Note
In the 1970s, Norax produced local versions of the strip fluorescent desk lamp, adapting imported concepts (such as Hanimex types) to Australian manufacturing. These lamps reflect a time when practical lighting became part of modern domestic design.
