A rare and highly sculptural Granada table lamp, designed by Vagn Dyring for Nordisk Solar Company, Denmark, in the late 1960s to early 1970s. This striking lamp exemplifies the bold experimentation of Scandinavian modernism at the end of the Space Age era.

Crafted with a strong architectural presence, the lamp features a stacked, toroidal form in a rich, chocolate-brown finish, creating a powerful interplay between soft organic curves and strict geometric balance. When illuminated, the concealed light source emits a warm, atmospheric glow from the horizontal aperture, emphasizing the lamp’s sculptural depth and refined proportions.

Both functional and highly decorative, the Granada lamp stands as a statement object—equally compelling when switched on or off. Its substantial scale and minimalist yet futuristic silhouette make it ideal for a modernist interior, collector’s setting, or curated design space.

Dimensions: Height: 46 cm (18.1 in) x Diameter: 40 cm (15.75 in)

A rare and authentic example of Danish lighting design, increasingly sought after by collectors of post-war Scandinavian and Space Age modernism.

Vagn Dyring was a Danish industrial and lighting designer active primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. He is best known for his experimental and forward-looking approach to form, often working with bold volumes and innovative light diffusion. Dyring’s designs reflect a transitional moment in Scandinavian design—where traditional craftsmanship met futuristic optimism—resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and daring.
