Poul Dinesen table lamp
Rare table lamp designed by Poul Dinesen and produced by Poul Dinesen in Denmark during the 1950s. This striking example of Scandinavian mid-century lighting design beautifully combines refined materials — brass, teak, and opal glass — into an elegant, functional object.
The lamp features a gently curved adjustable arm with a teak handle for precise positioning, anchored by a rounded brass base with a sculptural lever detail. Its spherical opal glass shade diffuses light softly and evenly, creating a warm, ambient glow ideal for both task and atmospheric lighting. The mix of natural wood and patinated brass speaks to the era’s emphasis on craftsmanship and material harmony.
In good vintage condition with minor signs of use and age-related patina, this piece embodies the understated elegance and functional sophistication characteristic of Scandinavian modernism.
Dimensions are 16 cm wide, 64 cm deep, and 42 cm high (6.3 x 25.2 x 16.5 in)
