A bold icon of 1970s design, the Space Age Bug Eye lamp was produced by Belgian lighting company Massive and remains one of the most recognizable Space Age lighting pieces of its era. The red plexiglass globe features four large convex smoked portholes, giving it a futuristic, otherworldly look inspired by the compound eyes of an insect — hence its nickname, “Bug Eye.”

Crafted from lightweight plastic and durable plexiglass, this statement light casts a warm, moody glow through the tinted lenses. It’s just as sculptural when switched off — a stunning focal point in any retro or eclectic interior.

This Bug Eye lamp is in excellent vintage condition, with minimal signs of wear. Compatible with standard E27 bulbs. Perfect for kitchens, lounges, creative studios, or anywhere a touch of 70s space fantasy is welcome.

A must-have for collectors of Space Age design, 1970s lighting, or iconic European modernism.
