Rare metal and white acrylic table lamp by Dijkstra Lampen, the Netherlands (1960s)
A rare and beautifully preserved example of early Dutch modern lighting design by Dijkstra Lampen, one of the oldest and most respected lighting manufacturers in the Netherlands. Produced in the 1960s, this seldom-seen model features a sturdy metal base combined with a white acrylic shade, perfectly capturing the era’s transition from mid-century elegance to space age modernism.
The white acrylic shade diffuses light into a soft, warm glow, creating a calm and inviting ambience. Its clean geometric form contrasts beautifully with the metallic base, giving the lamp a refined architectural presence.
Founded in 1922 by Fokke Dijkstra in Haarlem, Dijkstra Lampen became known for its innovative use of modern materials like acrylic and metal, resulting in lamps that were both functional and sculptural. Models from this early period are now highly sought after by collectors for their quality and distinctly Dutch character.
This lamp is in very good vintage condition, showing light signs of age consistent with use and material. A rare 1960s original that embodies the elegance, simplicity, and forward-thinking spirit of Dutch design — a true collector’s piece.
