Svend Aage Holm Sørensen table lamp
This rare table lamp was designed by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen and produced by Holm Sørensen & Co in Denmark during the 1950s. The lamp combines brass and teak, embodying the Scandinavian modern design principle of harmonizing natural and industrial materials. It features a circular brass shade with a gently tapered profile, displaying a patina that enriches its aged character. The shade is supported by a smoothly tapered teak stem, which rests on a flared brass base, creating a balanced and refined silhouette.
