The Pola Fishing Lamp, designed by Pola Design Amsterdam (then based in Amstelveen), is a characteristic example of 1980s Dutch design. Simplicity, functionality, and structural clarity were paramount during this period. The lamp embodies this philosophy in every detail: understated, intelligent, and purposeful in design.
The lamp rests on a flat metal base that subtly integrates the transformer. From this base, a slender black tube rises, flowing seamlessly into an adjustable fishing arm. Thanks to this clever design, the lamp can be easily adjusted in height and direction, making it suitable as a reading lamp, work lamp, or accent lighting.
The frosted glass conical shade diffuses the light softly and evenly, creating a warm, atmospheric glow. The combination of metal and glass gives the lamp not only a modern look but also high durability—qualities typical of quality design from this period.
With its clean lines and functional design, the Pola Fishing Lamp fits effortlessly into modern interiors while retaining the charm of a classic design object. It is as practical as it is sculptural — a piece that perfectly balances technique and aesthetics.
