Mid Century Modern Lightolier 3 Shade Tension Pole Lamp Gerald Thurston 1950s

A stunning example of mid-century modern design by renowned designer Gerald Thurston, this Lightolier tension pole lamp commands attention in any room.

~ The three-shade configuration features individually switchable fiberglass cones that rotate to turn on—a clever, tactile design detail from the 1950s.
