From Communication to Illumination: A Classic Reinvented

Crafted by STC (Standard Telephones and Cables), a cornerstone of Australia’s telecommunications history, this Bakelite rotary dial telephone dates to 1958. Founded in Sydney in 1926 by global tech giant ITT, STC was established to meet Australia’s growing demand for telecommunication devices.

Originally built for the Postmaster General, these telephones marked the shift from imported to locally manufactured components, reflecting Australia’s industrial growth. This particular model — the STC 400AT Series — features the hallmark design of its era, complete with a striking brass rotary dial that adds warmth and character to its bold black silhouette.

Now reimagined as a dimmable table lamp, this piece transcends its original purpose. With its smooth curves and glowing brass accents, it offers not only ambient light but also a rich story — a seamless blend of mid-century heritage and contemporary style.
