The Mini Fase Desk Lamp, designed by Tomás Díaz Magro and patented in 1969 under Industrias Fase, stands as one of the most iconic and commercially successful pieces in Spanish mid-century modern lighting. This portable and foldable lamp was produced in a variety of colors and advertised as “the perfect gift that shines.” Its design captures a blend of functionality and elegance.

The Mini Fase features clean geometric lines, a sturdy chromed arm, and a base with a unique angular design. When opened, it offers substantial lighting coverage, while its folded form makes it easy to transport and store.

This particular model is finished in an elegant black color, exuding a soft, retro aesthetic. It retains its original components and is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of wear that add to its authenticity and charm. Original maker’s stamp is preserved on the bottom side of the base. A brilliant example of Díaz Magro’s ingenuity, the Mini Fase is not only a functional lighting fixture but also a timeless piece of design history, perfect for any mid-century modern collection.

FASE was a prominent Spanish lighting manufacturer, particularly active from the 1960s through the 1980s. The brand became known for its innovative designs and high-quality products, contributing significantly to mid-century modern design. Fase lamps have become highly collectible items for design enthusiasts worldwide, often featured in films, TV series (like Mad Men), and design magazines.
