Mid-Century Metal and Opal Glass Ceiling Lamp, Europe 1950s
About the Item
Materials were key elements of modern lighting design, and nothing speaks mid-century modern more than the combination of metals, such as brass and glass. At its most basic level, mid-century modern designs are known for their sleek lines with organic shapes, using new materials and methods to re-imagine traditional pieces.
This ceiling lamp has a traditional looking structure with a surprise element: the long, strongly curved arms. The combination of metal and glass was especially characteristic of Scandinavian designers of the era as the metal shines beautifully when the light is on. While this model’s design revolves around the curved arms, its two glass shades are also arresting. They seamlessly lifted from the arms, and further accentuate each other’s shape. This design is very successful at mixing traditional and modern elements whilst staying true to the guiding principles of early mid-century modernism.
This ceiling lamp has a unique and stylish design that aims for functionality just as much as it aims for aesthetic appeal. Mid-century modern design hasn’t been bested by any other movement since its heyday, and it remains the style of our own time. This is because - as this ceiling lamp shows - the pieces in this style still look contemporary.

- Mid-Century Modern Brass and Glass Ceiling Lamp, Europe ca 1950sLocated in Utrecht, NLThe best thing about hanging ceiling lights - besides their stylish look - is that they are the best option to make interiors appear more spacious. They can be used them to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room. This lamp’s design revolves around the clear glass sphere. Glass is the perfect material for light shades as it allows light to pass through it. This means that glass light shades offer almost as much illumination as a bare light bulb. The result is bright and vibrant light, and this is exactly what this model offers. The design’s main point is its effective simpleness, free of any unnecessary detail. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. As such, the canopy, the rod, and the shade holder are all quite understated, accentuating the glass shade instead. The pairing of glass and brass is perhaps the most iconic material duo in mid-century modern European lighting...Category
