There seems to be a return in the popularity of retro style furniture again. If the furniture stores and the stock that they are currently carrying is anything to go by then we are in for a return to the heady post-war days.
One of the most interesting types of lamps to come out of the retro era is the atomic floor lamp. This type of lamp was designed to provide lighting for a large area of a room and was modelled on the space age designs that were starting to become prevalent at the time. The lamps marked a new exploration into a more streamlined look with curves dominating rather than sharp angles.
Using an atomic floor lamp tended to give you a mobile lamp that gives off light that is capable of reaching long distances. It is able to light good proportions of the room, but it won’t have to be sitting in the way of the general flow of traffic as they move around.
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of atomic floor lamps for sale in furniture stores again, which is a pretty good indication that the style is become popular.
