Product description
Desk lamp by the Danish glassworks Holmegaard, crafted during the 1970s. A cylindrical glass base with subtle constrictions lends the piece an air of lightness, complemented by a classic conical shade. The design unites Scandinavian simplicity with the artisanal precision that defined this Zealand-based manufacturer. The structure rests on a glass stem whose gently profiled form echoes traditional ceramic silhouettes. Horizontal grooves divide the body into segments, introducing rhythm to an otherwise minimalist composition. White glass allows the base itself to become a secondary light source—the material diffuses a soft glow that supplements the main beam cast by the shade. Proportions are carefully balanced: the wide lampshade counterweighs the slender base, creating a stable, harmonious profile. Founded in 1825, Holmegaard set the benchmark for Danish functional and artistic glass for generations. By the 1970s, the glassworks continued its legacy of merging utility with refined aesthetics, producing everyday objects of exceptional craftsmanship. Collaboration with leading Danish designers cemented its status as an icon of Scandinavian design. Holmegaard lamps from this era embody an approach where the material itself becomes decorative—glass is not merely a carrier of form but an active participant in shaping the mood of the light. The lamp suits a desk, a living-room sideboard, or a bedside table. An E27 socket allows for bulbs of varying colour temperatures to match any interior. A height of fifty centimetres and a shade diameter of forty centimetres ensure comfortable, diffused illumination over a generous area. A cord-mounted switch simplifies everyday use. Condition is rated as good, with no significant flaws noted. The electrical installation has been tested and functions correctly. Technical data Height: 50 cm Width: 40 cm Depth: 40 cm
