arne jacobsen floor lamp
by Arne Jacobsen from Louis Poulsen
arne jacobsen floor lamp
Design Arne Jacobsen, 1957
Steel stem, spun steel shade, die cast zinc base
Made in Denmark by Louis Poulsen
The AJ Floor lamp was designed, among other lighting fixtures, for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The standard lamp consists of a lampholder in an enameled steel pipe. A tilting mechanism has been installed in the pipe. The angles of the conic metal shade are made to be flush with the lampholder at the top, at least that was the intention, but in reality it is raised a little as an optical correction. When the lamp is tilted downwards, the edge is horizontal. The inside of the shade is matte white enamel. The light source is effectively screened for diffused lighting. Using a clear incandescent bulb the light is exploited the best way and the the light rays delineated precisely.
Arne Jacobsen was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. His cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. The Ant and Series 7 chairs, produced in 1952, propelled both Jacobsen and Fritz Hansen's names into furniture history. At the end of the 50's Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which introduced the Egg, the Swan, the Swan sofa and Series 3300 to the design world. Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. His furniture and other design work have become a national and international heritage.
