Hans Per Jeppesen wall lamps

Each lamp consists of two cylindrical sections of different diameters, creating a stepped, elongated silhouette. The brushed stainless steel finish gives the design a restrained industrial appearance, with subtle reflections emphasizing the clean lines and proportions. The wider lower cylinder houses the light source, providing focused, directional illumination.

The lamps are supported by angular wall-mounted brackets with pivoting connections on either side of the cylindrical housing. This construction allows the lamps to be tilted and rotated, making it possible to direct the light according to the surrounding space. Small metal fasteners secure the adjustable joints, while a white electrical cable extends from the upper cylinder toward the wall mounting.

A distinctive detail is the circular metal plate connecting the two cylindrical sections, featuring a series of evenly spaced perforations. When illuminated, these openings allow small points of light to escape around the upper cylinder, adding a subtle decorative effect to the otherwise functional design.

The Sonet model demonstrates Hans Per Jeppesen’s approach to lighting design, combining mechanical flexibility with simple geometric forms. Its adjustable construction makes the lamps suitable for reading, accent lighting, or illuminating specific areas within an interior.

Produced by Fog & Mørup, one of Denmark’s established lighting manufacturers, the Sonet reflects the experimentation with materials, form, and functionality that characterized Scandinavian lighting design during the 1960s.

The three lamps are presented as a matching set in stainless steel, offering the possibility of a coordinated installation while retaining the flexibility of individually adjustable light sources.

All three lamps remain in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age and use consistent with their period. The stainless steel surfaces show light scratches, small marks, and subtle surface wear, while the overall construction appears well preserved.
