In 1945, the engineers of the French lamp manufacturer JUMO designed a jointed lamp that can be extended to a height of 41 cm by means of three joints, but as soon as ist light is no longer needed, it shrinks like a turtle by folding all its extremities back in and concealing them under a hood. This hood, which is made of Bakelite®, also serves as a shade. The price is explained by the material quality of the 70 individual parts and the fact that they are carefully assembled by hand. We have acquired the ambitious project of the JUMO reissue from two French enthusiasts and have since been manufacturing this lamp ourselves.
