Information

This rare height-adjustable ceiling lamp, designed by Thomas Valentiner and produced by Poul Dinesen in Denmark, exemplifies refined mid-century Scandinavian lighting design. Crafted entirely from brass, the lamp features a warm patina developed over time, highlighting the material’s natural beauty and vintage character. Its wide, conical shade tapers smoothly into a slender neck, creating a fluid, organic silhouette that balances elegance with simplicity.

The adjustable height mechanism allows the lamp to extend from 90 cm to 130 cm (35.4 to 51.2 inches), offering flexibility for various lighting needs. The light source is housed within a minimalist geometric frame beneath the shade, providing a warm, directional glow characteristic of Valentiner’s functional yet sophisticated style.

Thomas Valentiner was known for his meticulous craftsmanship and use of brass as a signature material, while Poul Dinesen was a prominent Danish manufacturer dedicated to producing high-quality lighting solutions with leading designers. Together, they created timeless pieces rooted in Scandinavian modernist principles.

Dimensions: Diameter 48.5 cm (19.1 inches), adjustable height 90–130 cm (35.4–51.2 inches).
