The lamps were originally developed for the royal veterinary and agricultural university in copenhagen, where they were intended to provide strong, focused illumination over laboratory workbenches. Their ingenious construction allows the direction and spread of light to be adjusted by changing the position of the lamp holder within the shade. The distinctive hourglass-shaped design, formed by two opposing conical sections, reflects a characteristic combination of functional precision and understated elegance. The clean geometric silhouette gives the lamps a quality while remaining firmly rooted in the principles of danish modernist design. Crafted from aluminium and chrome-plated steel, with original porcelain lamp holders. A fine example of purpose-designed danish industrial lighting, combining practical ingenuity with a timeless aesthetic. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
