About the Item

This original floor uplighter from the 1930s is a rare example of early modernist lighting design, created in the spirit of the Bauhaus and International Style. Likely produced in Germany, the lamp features a slim chromed brass structure with a hemispherical shade and a precisely engineered telescopic height adjustment ranging from 140 to 180 cm. The clear, vertical alignment and understated geometry are characteristic of the design ideals of the time. Every detail—down to the proportion of shaft and shade—reflects the influence of a product designer or architect with a deep understanding of form and function.
