Designed with the versatility to serve as either a table lamp or wall-mounted light, this elegant piece exemplifies the clean lines and thoughtful engineering of scandinavian mid-century modern design.

the lamp features a distinctive conical aluminium shade finished in its original textured black lacquer. A series of precision-cut vertical slots around the lower circumference create a decorative play of light when illuminated, while the white-painted interior reflects light efficiently for comfortable task or ambient lighting.

the shade is supported by an elegant twin brass stem incorporating an adjustable pivot joint, allowing the angle of the light to be easily positioned. A weighted circular steel base, also finished in textured black lacquer, houses the original integrated switch and includes a factory-formed keyhole mounting beneath, enabling the lamp to be securely wall mounted if desired.

its restrained palette of black lacquer, polished brass, and crisp geometric forms perfectly captures the sophisticated simplicity of swedish design from the post-war period.
