The model "Fifty Fifty" interactive table lamp or wall sconce designed in 1965 by Paul Talman, Switzerland. Reminiscent of his artwork, this lamp has nine two-sided, two-color, rotating plastic balls with 'ON' printed to the white side and 'OFF' printed to the black side which reveal or conceal the internal illumination. Plastic spheres can be rotated to create different patterns. Anodised aluminum housing. Consider displaying as a freestanding table lamp or wall mounting as a light sculpture. On/off in-line switch. Original European plug. Good and working condition consistent with age and use.
