Pair of Tripod Floor Lamps by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (Attr.), Denmark ca 1960s

Creator: Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (Sorensen) (Attributed)
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Mid-century Danish design is celebrated for its clarity of form, refined material use, and quiet sophistication. Throughout the mid-20th century, Danish designers like Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen focused on creating objects that were as functional as they were elegant, emphasizing proportion, restraint, and craftsmanship. Lighting in particular became a defining element of this era, with a focus on design that brought warmth and atmosphere into everyday interiors.

This pair of tripod floor lamps reflects the enduring values of this era. The pieces feature slender brass stems rising from black-lacquered metal tripod bases, creating an airy silhouette. The splayed legs provide structural stability, as well as visual interest through their length. The small brass accents, from the stem to the feet, introduce a touch of refinement to the otherwise minimal form. The combination of black lacquer and brass lends a subtle contrast through the mix of cool and warm tones, adding elegant complexity to the design. The fabric drum shade completes the look, softly diffusing the light to create an inviting ambient glow. The model is thoughtfully proportioned, with the shade and base in harmoniously in balance. Holm Sørensen’s work consistently balanced precision and character, and these pieces reflect that philosophy. It honours the Scandinavian tradition that valued craftsmanship as much as innovation.

Sophisticated without being ostentatious, these floor lamps offer an ideal solution for interiors seeking both function and atmosphere. Their lightweight frames and timeless material palette make them enduring pieces of Danish mid-century design, simple, practical, yet refined. The lamps’ timeless simplicity allows them to integrate seamlessly into both contemporary and vintage interiors.
