What is atomic lamp?
1 Answer
When it comes to home decor, an atomic lamp is a term used to define interestingly shaped lamps from the 1950s or the mid-century design period. This is a time when the atomic bomb was in the news and the telltale mushroom cloud was the inspiration for the shape of these lamps. It’s a loose description of the new shapes that were being seen in lighting in this era. Shop a collection of atomic lamps from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
