Caprani Light Floor Lamp by Mads Caprani, Denmark, 1970s

About the Item

An original Caprani Lights floor lamp designed by Danish architect Mads Caprani in the 1970s. This vintage lamp features a sculptural bent plywood stand with an elegant curve, a cast iron crescent shaped base, and original hand pleated blush linen shade. The organic form feels distinctly 1970s in all its groovy glory. It's also undeniably elegant, thanks to the pleated shade and the surprisingly sturdy cast iron horse hoof base. It's the perfect accent: It works just as easily in modern, monochromatic spaces as in colorful and eclectic ones—and even classic and traditional homes that need a playful edge. The clean lines of the fluted shade against the smooth curves of the stem make it both an understated chameleon and a statement that can hold its own, a very fine line indeed. This model is a very rare find in this beautiful condition.
