Svend Aage Holm Sørensen floor lamp

This rare floor lamp, designed by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen and produced by Holm Sørensen & Co in Denmark during the 1950s, is a distinctive example of mid-century Scandinavian modern design. The lamp features a black lacquered steel structure elegantly bent into a dynamic, asymmetrical form that commands visual interest. Its original pleated plastic lampshade presents a sculptural, lantern-like silhouette, softly diffusing light while adding texture and depth to the overall design.

Supporting the lamp is a striking V-shaped base finished in brass, providing both stability and a warm contrast to the sleek black lacquered frame. The stem’s middle section is wrapped in natural cane, introducing an organic texture that complements the industrial materials and underscores the Scandinavian tradition of craftsmanship and material harmony.

This model is a rare and highly sought-after example of Holm Sørensen’s approach to lighting design, which balances bold geometric forms with refined detailing to create sculptural, functional objects.

The lamp measures 27 centimeters in width (10.6 inches), 55 centimeters in depth (21.7 inches), and stands 155 centimeters tall (61 inches), offering a slender yet commanding presence.
