FAQ:
Q: Is there a book on Fase?
A: In sum, although FASE was a leading company within the lighting sector and its innovating designs are still present throughout the world, its story is almost completely anonymous. There are no existing books on FASE, articles in magazines are very rare and the information available online is scarce and often inaccurate.
Q: How much does a Fase catalog cost?
A: Its advertising catalogues are sold for more than 3000 euros, but most of the information is hidden behind the tyranny of some antique collectors who keep it to themselves and usually refuse to share it. FASE is widely present in private collections but missing from public displays.
Q: What is a Fase Boomerang?
A: Photo courtesy of AMC. FASE was established in Madrid in 1964 and some of its most iconic lamps (Boomerang 64, Boomerang 2000, 520, Faro and Presidente) were manufactured during its first few years of life. The last four ones are easier to find since they were marketed until the end of the 80s and thousands of them were produced.
Q: Who made lamps similar to the FASE?
A: In fact, at least five companies, all based in Madrid, produced lamps that were quite similar to the FASE ones. Lupela, GEI (Gabinete Estudios Industriales) and Ma-Of are reasonably well-known amongst the experts, but this book will reveal new ones.
