Cubist Lamp Post, Sculptural lamp post in Jungmann Square, Prague, Czech Republic.

The Cubist lamp post features angular shapes and geometric patterns crafted from artificial stone, incorporating truncated pyramids with precise facets.

Czech architect Emil Kralíček designed this revolutionary street lamp in 1913 during the reconstruction phase of the adjacent Adam's Pharmacy building.

The lamp post represents the adaptation of French Cubist principles into Czech architecture, marking Prague's participation in early 20th-century artistic movements.

Located near Wenceslas Square and the House of the Black Madonna museum, this functioning street lamp illuminates a corner passage to Church of Our Lady.

This metal and stone street lamp remains the only Cubist-designed lamp post in existence, distinguishing itself from traditional cast iron lighting fixtures.
