Turn Your Flat Into A Vintage Movie Set With 1940s Hollywood Studio Lamp

FURNITUREHOUSE

You’re a star.  Hell, you’re a superstar.  And no better way to celebrate your megalomaniac delusions than to put a spotlight right in your living space with this 1940s Hollywood Studio Lamp.

Created by Restoration Hardware, the lighting furniture borrows its looks and styling from a 1940s Fresnel studio lamp — those classic staples found in every major film studio from the olden days.   Build and appearance have been fashioned to be as exacting as the original, complete with full maneuverability for the actual lighting’s cast aluminum housing.

The 1940s Hollywood Studio Floor Lamp is a replica lighting equipment made from solid cast aluminum and steel, with a polished aluminum and powdercoat finish.  Each of the tripod legs has aluminum casters for mobility, with a manually adjustable stand that can take the height anywhere from 47 to 67 inches.  In case a spotlight sounds too much illumination for any part of the house, don’t worry — the fixture can take normal bulbs under the ribbed glass cover, too.

Whether for the living room, the bedroom or that dingy room over the garage of your parents’ house you call home, the lamp looks like it can make an excellent addition to any décor.  And if your living arrangements fall under that last one, it just might be the most expensive piece in your pad, too, priced at a rich $1,850.

  1. How’s this for a lighting equipment! Who would mind an authentic (well, at least as far as the looks of the thing are concerned) studio lamp lighting up one’s room. Better still, how about having this mesmerizing lamp create the perfect lighting patterns during those late night television sessions! It’s a ten on ten product, considering the superb idea of design. And there is the fair share of utility as well. The price, at $1,850 is a dampener though. Oh, those old days of the 40s. Shouldn’t they have stuck to the strategy of recreating the aura of the yore, and reflected the same in the pricing as well?

  2. I love classic movies and leave no stone unturned in trying to create a fitting ambience for the weekend movie shifts. A big screen television, a bagful of collector’s edition disks, a comfortable couch to lean into, personalized coffee mugs (with movie screenshots imprinted on them!) and bowls of pop corns; this makes for my menu card. Obviously, I see a hole in there now. How I would simply love to get my hands around the silver rod of this 1940s Hollywood Studio Lamp!

  3. There’s an undeniable touch of retro to the image. I must admit that I am greatly impressed with the styling projected. As to whether this Fresnel studio lamp of the 40s mingles well with the decor of the twenty first century is something I genuinely doubt. However, nothing shall detract well endowed movie connoisseurs from digging deep inside their pockets to buy this steeply priced equipment.

  4. It would be a spectacle oozing with the gloriously haunting feeling of ‘deja vu’ for film makers of the present. Studio people must be so pleased with and excited about the 1940s Hollywood studio styled lamp; I would definitely be saving for the purchase if I were a studio owner. Glory comes at a cost, and this one is no exception to the rule.

  5. Just a few weeks back, I visited an exhibition and saw a replica telephone set, resembling the beautiful ones of the old times. The only drawback was the fact that it could not be used a telephone, and was nothing more than an addition to your mantle. Thankfully, the Restoration Hardware people have delivered on the utility front with their version of the good old studio lamp. But they have over burned the recipe as far as the pricing goes. Looking forward to a cheaper and more compact version of the 1940s lamp.
