A pair of magnificent Georges Frydman table lamps, designed for EFA (Equipement Fonctionnelle de l'Habitation) in the 1950s.
The lamps consist of a black metal frame, brass hardware, and cylindrical white Plexiglas shades. While several iterations of this model exist, these particular examples are distinguished by a white melamine panel on the back, which helps diffuse the light and allows for an original arrangement, such as a sconced base.
