Product description
This table lamp reflects the Danish Modern design language of the 1960s, built from solid teak and molded acrylic. The shade takes a bell-shaped, pagoda-like profile on a square plan with rounded corners, formed from a single piece of opal acrylic with a consistent wall thickness throughout, giving the lamp its dominant visual presence. A clear acrylic disc sits above the stem as the fitting point, from which four slender brass rods extend outward, each terminating in a small turned teak cylinder that clips onto the shade's lower edge; the brass itself remains largely hidden within this fitting. The base is a solid block of teak, cut with a concave neck carved directly from the same piece of wood rather than assembled from separate parts. The pairing of a sculptural acrylic shade with a solid teak base reflects the mix of new industrial materials and traditional joinery that defined much of Scandinavian lighting design in this period. Its compact scale suits a bedside table, a reading corner, or a console in a study, where the geometric shade and sculpted wood base can be appreciated at eye level. The turned teak details at the shade's edge show clear handwork, set against the smooth, molded surface of the acrylic shade above. This lamp would suit collectors of mid-century Scandinavian lighting looking for a piece that combines a bold sculptural shade with finely worked wood detailing.
