Floor lamp
This rare floor lamp, produced in Denmark in the 1950s, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and material elegance characteristic of Scandinavian modern design. The structure is primarily brass, with a column wrapped in intricately braided leather that adds texture and warmth to the overall piece. It stands on a circular brass base that offers stability while maintaining a sleek and understated profile.
The leather-wrapped stem reflects the Danish mid-century tradition of blending natural materials with functional design. The woven leatherwork demonstrates precise craftsmanship and attention to detail, creating a tactile contrast to the smooth brass elements. The lamp is equipped with a standard light fitting designed to accommodate various lampshades; however, this particular piece is sold without a shade.
Although the designer is unknown, the lamp’s proportions and material choices are consistent with works by Danish lighting designers of the mid-20th century, who emphasized simplicity, high-quality materials, and organic forms.
This floor lamp stands as an excellent example of Scandinavian modernism, skillfully combining functionality with natural materials.
The lamp measures 25 cm in diameter and 151 cm in height (approximately 9.8 by 59.4 inches).
