This pair of table lamps, designed by Josef Hůrka and produced by NAPAKO circa 1958, captures the essence of mid-century Czechoslovak modernism. With their tripod base and perforated conical shade, they reflect the refined minimalism of the "Brussels style". A blend of functionality and poetic form. Executed in enameled metal, this striking black and white version highlights the sculptural clarity and elegant asymmetry that define Hůrka’s design language.

Napako was founded in 1919 through the merger of several small private companies in Prague, and the name is formed from the first syllables of three words – NÁstrojaři, PAsíři, KOvotlačitelé (toolmakers, smiths, metal spinners). Since the 1940s, Napako has been associated with the name of Josef Hůrka, who designed very popular lighting fixtures for the company for decades.
