    Bring some old-school NYC street vibes into your home with this MTA Subway Table Lamp. Officially licensed and created in partnership with the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority), this custom-designed and manufactured lamp pays homage to the retro MTA entrance beacons that were used around Manhattan and the outer boroughs during the 1980s and ‘90s, but are now scarce across the city’s stations. The lamp features a frosted glass cube-shaped top with a screen printed archive Metro ‘M’ insignia that sits atop a green glass cube, an iron base with laser-etched branding, and a 53”-long braided orange cord with a dial dimming switch. (The Metro ‘M’ insignia was used by the MTA from 1968 to 1994.) The frosted and green cubes both illuminate when the lamp is on and are dimmable. The MTA Subway Table Lamp measures 9h x 4w x 4”d and requires an E26 LED bulb (included).

    Why We Chose This
    As a NYC-based museum and store, we are always in search of products that celebrate our city, including those that evoke nostalgia. The MTA entrance beacon that this lamp is based on has become a bit of a unicorn in Manhattan and the outer boroughs. Most of those lamps were replaced with the green globe "half-moons," while the ones that remain have created a game of "spot the old-school lamp" among native New Yorkers and visitors alike.
