Pair of beautiful Georges Frydman table lamps, designed for EFA (Equipement fonctionnel de l'habitation) in the 1950s. The lamps are made of a black metal structure, brass hardware and cylindrical white plexiglass shades. While several iterations of this model exist, these particular examples feature a white melamine panel on the back, helping to diffuse the light and allowing original disposition such as book ends.
