Vilhelm Lauritzen attrib. table lamp
This table lamp, attributed to Vilhelm Lauritzen, was produced in Denmark during the 1950s. Crafted from solid brass, the lamp features a dome-shaped shade designed to direct light downward. The brass surface has developed a rich, natural patina over time, giving the piece a distinctive aged character. Its curved neck extends gracefully from a rounded, weighted base, offering both an organic form and functional adjustability.
The base is designed for stability, with an integrated rotary switch conveniently located on the top surface for easy operation. The shade’s interior has a soft, reflective finish that optimizes light distribution, making it suitable for use as a desk or accent lamp.
Vilhelm Lauritzen was a prominent Danish architect and designer celebrated for his role in advancing functionalist and modernist design. His work is characterized by clean lines, refined materiality, and practical functionality, resulting in timeless lighting pieces that remain highly regarded.
This lamp is preserved in good vintage condition, showing wear and patina consistent with its age. The brass exhibits a heavy, well-developed patina that adds depth and visual interest.
The dimensions are 16 cm in width, 32 cm in depth, and 38 cm in height (6.3 x 12.6 x 15 inches).
