It was "a very modern design proposal for the time, never seen before"... And still is. Why Because of the "totally original combination of metal and wood, fantastic chrome and a beautiful range of colors". Also because of its incredible movement capability, "thanks to a sophisticated ball-and-socket joint system conceived by fase's early designers". As a result, fase became a very popular brand in spain and was also successfully exported to europe and the united states, becoming one of the biggest business successes of the spanish industry in the 1970s. All lamps are of european origin and have a european plug, although an adapter for the american plug can be fitted if desired.
