Pair of Grethe & Jørgen Duedahl-Larsson Table Lamps, Denmark Mid-20th Century

$ 5,225
  • Description
    In the European design landscape of the mid-20th century, Brutalism emerged as a distinct architectural and artistic movement, influencing not only buildings but also furniture and interiors. Brutalism proudly showcases raw, imperfect materials, bold forms, and a prioritisation of function over adornment. Favouring unfinished materials and sculptural forms, it celebrates the imperfect appeal of handmade items.

    The essence of Brutalism is captured in the design of this pair of Grethe and Jørgen Duedahl-Larsson table lamps. Both visually and technically, these pieces celebrate the inherent beauty of the material and the boundless creativity of skilled craftsmanship. The pieces feature a uniquely shaped sculptural body crafted from stoneware, a type of ceramic known for its durability and textured finish. The lamps have a bottle-shaped base, decorated with unique embellishments. From all angles they have something of interest to offer visually, as their pattern is asymmetrical. The three dimensional ridge-like pattern contrasts the muted tone of the lamp body with its saturated dark tone. The stoneware bodies, with textured graphic patterns in relief, combine the era's affinity for natural materials with an emphasis on sculptural details, making this model both a lighting source and a decor element. Through the combination of their strong body and light shade, both in colour and material, the lamps command attention without overpowering a space. The sculptural base narrows towards the top, combining the unique features with traditional elements.

    These table lamps command attention in any room, both of them as individual pieces, but even mores as a pair. The lamps tread a fine line between art and design; they are not just a functional object but a piece of decor that encapsulates the earthy, organic aesthetic of mid-20th century European design.
