Danish Brass and Metal Floor Lamp with Opal Glass Shade, Denmark 1950s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Danish Modern furniture design, flourishing from the 1940s to the 1960s, is celebrated for its minimalist elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and emphasis on functionality. Characterised by clean lines, organic forms, and a harmonious balance between aesthetics and practicality, this design movement embodied the ethos of "form follows function."

This charming floor lamp combines a classical shape with carefully thought out proportions and signature Danish craftsmanship. Perhaps the most striking element of this design is the milk glass shade in a unique, organic shape, setting this lamp apart. The glass is attached to the body of the lamp through a beautifully curved neck, adjustable for increased practicality, counterbalanced by the straight tube which leads to the circular base. The white shade and curved neck is reminiscent of a snowdrop flower—elegant and delicate—but most importantly, timeless. The choice of materials is not to be overlooked, as it ensure the durability of the lamp. Contrasting with the white glass, the stem and base are made out of black lacquered metal, while the golden brass of the neck showcases an appealing sheen, perfect for tying together the design of this floor lamp.

Easy to incorporate into any space with its graceful, slender shape, this lamp serves both a functional and an aesthetic role. This model exemplifies why during the mid-20th century Denmark was placed on the world map for its modern furniture and groundbreaking craftsmanship.
