This table lamp is a striking example of a light fixture stylistically influenced by Art Nouveau and the Wiener Werkstätte, and its design is attributed to Adolf Loos.
The design is by Adolf Loos for the Villa Steiner around 1910, and this particular piece is very likely a high-quality re-edition.
The overall impression is characterized by clear geometry, refined materials, and functional elegance, typical of early modernism.
The lamp body is made of nickel-plated brass, with the vertical stem in a column-like form featuring fine fluting. This vertical structure flows harmoniously into a round lamp head, which is supported by three elegantly curved arms.
The white, hemispherical shade made of opaline glass sits in a metal frame and diffuses the light pleasantly softly. The stepped base, with its weight, ensures stability. Power is supplied via a white, fabric-covered cable with an inline switch.
Condition: Both lamps are in very good condition. The metal parts show only a light, age-appropriate patina on the surface, but no major scratches or discoloration. The opal glass shade is undamaged, evenly translucent, and without cracks or chips. Both lamps function perfectly and emit a pleasant light.
Dimensions: Diameter 25 x Height 45 cm
