The structure is composed of brass and white lacquered metal, creating a balanced contrast between warm metallic tones and a clean, neutral finish. Each lamp features a tall, slender stem that supports an upward-facing, conical brass shade. The shades are detailed with a perforated upper rim, which allows light to diffuse softly and creates a subtle pattern of illumination. The lamps rest on circular brass bases elevated slightly by small decorative feet, lending a delicate yet stable foundation. Fluted brass detailing is present at the transitions between the stem and base, as well as the stem and shade, adding a layer of ornamental refinement without compromising the lamps’ minimalist aesthetic. The white lacquered stems stand out against the brass components, emphasizing the design’s elegant yet functional qualities. In vintage condition, the brass elements exhibit a natural patina, particularly on the shades and bases, which adds depth and authenticity to the pieces. The white lacquered stems show wear consistent with age and use, reflecting their history while preserving overall integrity. These uplight floor lamps embody Scandinavian modernism’s focus on minimalism, craftsmanship, and functional beauty. Their design directs light upward, creating ambient illumination that enhances the warmth and atmosphere of any interior.

Each lamp measures 27 centimeters in diameter (10.6 inches) and stands 170 centimeters tall (66.9 inches), offering a slender and graceful presence.
