This striking pair of table lamps was designed by Einar Johansen and produced by Søholm Stentøj in Denmark during the 1960s. Each lamp is stamped with the manufacturer’s name and the model number 1068 on the underside of the base.
The stoneware base features a beautifully crafted cylindrical lower section that transitions into a diabolo (UFO-like) shape, topped by a slender neck. The stoneware is finished in a glossy, multicolored glaze that showcases refined and vibrant hues of blue, green, purple, and brown. These colors blend seamlessly into one another, creating a sophisticated gradient effect. The cylindrical lampshades have been newly replaced with matte, ivory-colored fabric. Their neutral tone provides an elegant contrast to the vivid, expressive base.
Each lamp has been rewired and fitted with a standard E26/E27 bulb socket and a 220V European plug. Both are in very good condition, with new shades and updated wiring.
