Ercole Cacciami, Kodak Space Light, Progress Consultant 1990

Rarely found outside of Italy, the Kodak Space Light is a fun and ingenious lamp awarded to Kodak customers collecting tokens through a promotion of their Ektachrome and Kodacolor Gold films. Designed in 1990 by Ercole Cacciami at Progress Consultant (an Italian promotions company) and sent out as a kit to be assembled at home, the lamp uses a clever system of electrically charged metal rods that function as tracks for the lamp-holder, allowing it to be suspended in space. The halogen light source is illuminated once the lamp-holder is put in contact with the tracks (like an electric train set). Unfortunately this example has already been assembled, but it nevertheless remains a smart and engaging artefact of late 80s postmodernism.

This Kodak Space Light is in excellent condition and working order. The 2-pin European transformer has been retrofitted with a 3-pin UK adapter and a new G4 10W (12V) halogen light source.
