Svend Aage Holm Sørensen floor lamp

This floor lamp was designed by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen and produced by Holm Sørensen & Co in Denmark during the 1950s. The design reflects the refined Danish approach to mid-century lighting, combining clean lines with a restrained yet elegant use of materials. Executed in brass, the lamp has developed a warm patina over time, giving it depth and character while underlining its age and authenticity.

The construction is minimal yet functional, with a slender upright stem supported by a three-legged base, ensuring stability and balance. The socket is mounted at the top with a practical holder for attaching a shade. This example is sold without a lampshade, allowing the buyer to select one suited to their preferred aesthetic or historical accuracy. A similar model exists, making it possible to assemble a matched pair, which was not uncommon in Scandinavian interiors of the period.
