Deckard Apartment Lamps

[joberg]

Yes, someone is bound to look at those kitchen lamps and it might look like the prop guy just cobbled something together...you guys are going to show me how to post photos in propsummit.
The first lamp, that is, the lamp with the claws only (3 claws according to photos) was the more popular i.e. less expensive of the 2 models.
The other one i.e. ''Syd Mead'' design was more moola.
I'm afraid that Syd didn't draw that one; sometimes your imagination is playing tricks on you and subliminaly you thought that you, and only you, came up with the design.
Not to mention that, as a designer, you have access to a lot of material, magazines and professional design journals full of new stuff.

It's the old question: egg or chicken? Or who copied who?

I saw there's a saturn lamp on ebay now if anyone is interested. With the blue details it looks more like a 70 repro than an original.

Hope this helps,

Yes, as you said: hard to find, that's why you don't care if it's the right colour or not; you just buy it! Very good find:-)

Great find Joan,
I had to let one go i found about a month ago because the shipping was too much, it was the same as the original, i regret not getting it so much its not funny.
I keep faith that i will find one and a dazor locally, its surprising how
many things i have come across just in Melbourne, one of the advantages of our long releationship with the US possibly.
Joan, its been said many times but you must show us your entire collection, i know you have space issues but if you could somehow find a studio or large office space etc to use for a day and probably a large truck to move it would be a lot of work for you but a bonus for us.

From some of the scenes in the apartment with brighter lighting the lamp I am pretty sure is an off white or cream color. You can see it pretty well in the opening shot of the 'Dangerous Days' documentary. The contrast of the light coming from inside the shade or diffuser makes the body more shadowed and darker. I thought for sure it was black for a long time myself.

Nice catch Joan.

Does anyone know if the Dazor lamp on top of his piano is the only Dazor Saucer lamp he has.

I was able to get one but it's not black.

I can paint it to match no problem but I want to see if by chance there is another one in the apartment

[andy]

His isn't black either. It is most likely the metalic brown color most of these seem to be. The only place I see this lamp is on his piano, but I would not be surprised to find it somewhere else in the movie with the way they rotated the set decorations.

I never saw a black Dazor...as Andy said, they only come in that brown chocolate colour.

[Mr Webber]

Mines a black one, cant be sure what colour Deckards is.

It`s a first for me Tim...I stand corrected

[jameth]

Looking at the Piano pic it looks black in one and metallic in the other.

I will watch it tonight.

Kind of sick of painting stuff so I think I will leave it as it came.




Tim, I saw a black one on Ebay a month or so before I won mine. Can't remember exact but I think it went for a lot
