TALOPP - 1970's  Vintage Office Desk Lamp

Designed by Jean-René Talopp  in the early 1970's for the MANADE office accessories collection. Composed of  eleven products, it was distributed by office furniture manufacturers; a network  of wholesalers supplying resellers and mail-order operators. The objects in this collection met with immense success and became part of office design history.

"For the record, it was initially to test a new expansive plastic material  for which lacked an appropriate mould. An object had to be found to conduct  these tests. An engineer designed a mail tray with thick walls, after which a  provisional aluminium mould was made. The first injected trays obtained were  painted in assorted bright colours. They naturally blended into the Group's  offices. Receptive to the interest shown by visitors, especially office  furniture suppliers, in these simple tests, the Group decided to launch the  design, production and marketing of a collection of office accessories”
