About the Item

Postwar European design in the 1950s was defined by a turn toward restraint, elegance, and the intelligent use of materials. Designers of the period emphasized refined proportions, tactile contrasts, and streamlined silhouettes, often blending traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility. Within this context, pieces like this adjustable floor lamp were crafted. The lamp features a tall, slender shaft wrapped in warm-toned leather, lending the piece a rich, tactile surface that contrasts beautifully with the brass components. Rising from the top of the stem is a brass neck that extends, allowing the user to adjust the height of the lamp. The stem supports the softly tapered conical shade, designed to diffuse light with a warm, ambient glow. Its base is a classic tripod in solid brass, with gently flared legs that provide stability while preserving the overall lightness of the form. The combination of materials, the organic texture of the leather and the polished gleam of the brass, creates a refined visual balance, while the adjustable mechanism discreetly incorporated at the joint adds functionality without disturbing the purity of the silhouette. Well-suited to an array of interiors, this lamp brings quiet charm and practical elegance to a space. Its slender design and timeless materials make it ideal for living rooms, reading corners, or bedrooms. Balancing mid-century charm with enduring sophistication, it reflects the kind of design that never goes out of style. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The shade is a later replacement. Dimensions: 19.68 in Ø x 79.13 in H 50 cm Ø x 201 cm H
