Historical information

This Beco lamp was designed by Donald Brown, a pre-eminent Australian lighting designer in the '50s and '60s. Robin Boyd often specified BECO lighting, including elsewhere in his own home. This was originally a bedside reading lamp in the upper living room, as seen in the Mark Strizic 1958 photograph in Robin Boyd's book Living in Australia p129.
