The model was called 'Bridge' and is one of the most iconic floor lamp designs of the Danish Modern era.

The striking design is marked by the organic, sculptural shape of the curved stem and the slender, three legged base. The entire base is executed in stained beech wood with brass details. The original pleated, hand folded acrylic shade was manufactured by Le Klint.

The lamp is in good, completely original condition. The wood with a natural patina and minor signs of wear consistent with age and use. The pleated lamp shade with minor imperfections consistent with age and use. Currently wired with a 220V European plug.
