Rare Model 14 table lamp by Temde Leuchten, Switzerland, 1960s
The Model 14 table lamp by Temde Leuchten is an exceptionally rare mid-century piece that beautifully combines natural materials with sculptural elegance. Produced in Switzerland during the 1960s, this design features three hand-blown glass spheres—each with delicate oxygen bubbles suspended within—resting on a solid wooden base. When lit, the spheres emit a warm, atmospheric glow that accentuates the organic character of the materials.
The combination of textured glass and natural wood perfectly illustrates Temde Leuchten’s signature approach: a refined balance between craftsmanship, function, and nature. The lamp’s composition feels both modern and organic, making it a striking yet harmonious presence in any interior.
Temde Leuchten was celebrated for its high-quality workmanship and innovative use of materials, and the Model 14 is one of the company’s most elusive designs—rarely seen on the market.
This particular example is offered by Studio Haag and remains in very good original condition. A true collector’s piece, the Model 14 represents one of the most distinctive expressions of mid-century Swiss lighting design—a masterful union of natural beauty and modern form.
