Vintage Planet 'Studio K' Floor Lamp

The definitive silhouette of Australian industrial design.

The Planet 'Studio K' is not merely a desk lamp; it is a piece of precision engineering that defined a generation of creative workspaces.

Designed in 1962 by William (Bill) Iggulden, this Series K lamp was a staple on the drafting boards of Australia’s leading mid-century architects and designers. Its genius lies in its simplicity and function: a hydraulic-style friction hinge system that allows the head to float effortlessly into position without the need for springs or counterweights.

Finished in a sleek, architectural white, this example features the signature heavy weighted base, ensuring absolute stability even at full extension.

A true classic, the Studio K was one of the first Australian products to receive international acclaim. Its timeless form has seen it exhibited in major design institutions globally, with a legacy that reportedly extends to the Louvre in Paris and MoMA in New York.
