A wonderful acrylic and nylon thread pendant lamp by Paul Secon for Sompex lamp circa 1960. Possibly the hardest thing to try and take a good photograph of.
Fitted with a chrome lamp holder and white twisted fabric flex.
Paul Secon light designs are closely associated with mid-century modern and space-age aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s. These lamps typically feature geometric acrylic (Perspex) frames wrapped in delicate nylon filament, creating intricate web-like patterns. When illuminated, they produce striking shadows and a soft, diffused glow that enhances their sculptural quality.
Often made for companies like Sompex, the designs emphasise transparency, lightness, and visual complexity. Their futuristic, almost UFO-like forms make them standout statement pieces. Today, these lights remain highly collectible for their artistic craftsmanship and timeless retro appeal.
