Rabbit Tanaka Desk Lamp, Japan, 1980s

1980s Japanese Rabbit Tanaka Desk Lamp with Adjustable Gooseneck Designed by Kyoji Tanaka

A bold desk lamp from Japan’s 1980s design scene: the Rabbit Tanaka Gooseneck Desk Lamp, designed by Kyoji Tanaka for Rabbit Tanaka Corp. Its slim black gooseneck rises from a colourful base that cleverly doubles as a desktop organiser - pencil tray, paper-clip holder and space for small stationery built in.

Made of plastic, the lamp features primary-colour accents that nod to the playful post-modern and Memphis-influenced aesthetic of the time. With its sculptural yet functional profile, it’s both a practical task-light and a lean statement piece for a vintage-inspired workspace.
