Midcentury White Lucite Table Lamp by André Ricard for Metalarte, 1970s

About the Item

Huge and beautiful midcentury lucite "Seta Desktop lamp" from 1970s. This lamp is André Ricard designed and crafted in 1974 in Barcelona by “Metalarte”. André Ricard (1929), a Pioneer of Spanish Industrial Design, he was Chairman of ADI-FAD, Founding Chairman of ADP and a member of the Faculty of the Art Centre (Switzerland), among other positions. An internationally renowned author, he has designed containers, utensils, lighting, domestic appliances and items of furniture that have ended up forming part of our everyday lives at home. Among his most well-known designs are the Copenhagen ashtray, released by Mobles 114, and the Olympic torch for the Barcelona 1992 games. Taking a logical, analytical approach he “harmoniously integrates the most beautiful form with the demands of the function”, applying a style of design that’s Classic because it’s timeless and never becomes outmoded. André Ricard has been recognized with Spain’s National Design Award, the Sant Jordi Cross from the Catalan government, the Olympic Order of the International Olympic Committee and the Gold Medal for Artistic Merit of the city of Barcelona, and has also been made a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres and Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur of France. “Design means endowing a sensible and pure shape to everyday objects so that they may best serve the function for which they were intended”, André Ricard. “Metalarte” original label still shows on the back and on the switch. This piece is equipped with one-light socket (E27). A professional electrician has checked and prepared the piece to operate in US, UK and EU. Our main target is customer satisfaction, so we include in the price for this item professional and custom made wood packing.

Tatu Table Lamp from André Ricard for Metalarte 1972 Spain
By André Ricard, Metalarte
Located in Lisboa, PT
A playful icon of Spanish industrial design, the Tatu Table Lamp was created by André Ricard for Metalarte in 1972. Inspired by the periscope and the ergonomic curves of a tattoo machine, "Tatu" embodies the spirit of 1970s innovation — modular, functional, and bold in personality. Crafted in vibrant red thermoplastic, the lamp features three independently rotating joints, allowing it to morph seamlessly between a table lamp and a wall-mounted light. This example retains its original box, along with the original wall bracket tucked inside — a detail rarely preserved, making this a particularly complete and collectible piece. What makes this version even more special is the “Diseño Selección ADI FAD” stamp proudly displayed on the body — a recognition awarded by Spain’s prestigious Association of Industrial Design (ADI-FAD), confirming its significance in the history of contemporary design. With its futuristic curves, graphic black detailing, and sculptural adaptability, the Tatu lamp...
