Information

This rare floor lamp, model 325, designed by Vilhelm Wohlert and produced by Le Klint in Denmark in 1957, is a remarkable example of Scandinavian modern design. The lamp combines teak, black lacquered metal, and brass in a refined and functional composition that showcases Wohlert’s minimalist approach to design. The structure features an adjustable counterweighted arm, which allows for directional lighting, making the lamp versatile in various settings. The original pleated plastic lampshade diffuses light softly while maintaining its sculptural form, creating a warm, inviting glow that enhances the atmosphere of the room.

Vilhelm Wohlert, a Danish architect and designer, is best known for his minimalist approach and his deep understanding of materials. In addition to his work as a designer of lighting and furniture, Wohlert is famous for his design of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. His work emphasizes a balance between functionality and aesthetics, a principle that is clearly reflected in this lamp.

The floor lamp remains in very good original condition, with minor signs of age-related wear on the metal base and structure, which adds to its patina and authenticity. The lampshade shows some slight aging but retains its integrity and continues to diffuse light beautifully, highlighting the quality of the materials and design.

The dimensions of the lamp are 30 cm (11.8 inches) in width, 73 cm (28.7 inches) in depth, and 150 cm (59.1 inches) in height. This makes it an ideal piece for larger spaces or areas where adjustable, sculptural lighting can serve as both a functional and aesthetic statement.
