Have you ever heard of a TV lamp?
In the 1950s, the presence of television in middle-class households increased. Even in its infancy, television was already showing as a central part of the modern home. “TV” was changing lives in the same way personal computers did three decades later, and like most technological inventions, there were concerns. Many feared that watching television in a darkened room could cause eye damage. Considering that consumers were accustomed to watching movies in darkened cinemas, it was entirely natural for the tradition to transfer to home viewing. Moreover, the earliest televisions emitted relatively dim light, making viewing in low light almost necessary.
Soon, many televisions were adorned with a new accessory: a ceramic, illuminated figurine… the TV lamp. It was believed that the ambient light provided by these lamps reduced eye strain and allowed viewing without guilt. TV lamps soon became a necessary addition to the family television. Although they dominated as favorite household items for only about 10 years, their design significance continues to influence today.
TV lamps were available in thousands of variations from hundreds of manufacturers, and while they were made from various materials, the vast majority were ceramic, coated with glossy glaze in one of the decade’s popular colors. Most of these charming household sculptures depicted members of the animal kingdom (horses, deer, dogs, birds, domestic cats, and the ever-popular panther), some were human figures, while others were merely exercises in abstract design.
