Danish 'Bridge' Floor Lamp by Severin Hansen for Haslev Møbelsnedkeri, 1950s

About the Item

A rare and important ‘Bridge’ floor lamp by Severin Hansen, an iconic Danish design from the 1950s. Crafted for Haslev Møbelsnedkeri, this piece features a beautifully stained beech wood base and stem, accented with brass details. The lamp’s slender, adjustable arm extends gracefully from its sturdy tripod legs, which house a convenient foot-operated switch. The hand-folded paper shade by Le Klint adds an artisanal quality, offering warm, diffused light. In the 1950s, Severin Hansen and Haslev Møbelsnedkeri forged a partnership that defined mid-century Danish modernism. Hansen, honored with the prestigious Lunning Prize in 1957, brought his award-winning vision to Haslev, creating iconic pieces like the 'Bridge' floor lamp. Together, they produced timeless works with clean lines and thoughtful proportions, solidifying their legacy in Scandinavian design. Sold and priced individually. Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with very minor marks to the wood frame, as shown in photos. This lamp has been professionally rewired for U.S. use by our team of restorationists with one E26 brass threaded-collar socket and floor switch. A new Le Klint paper shade and metal frame was recently sourced for this lamp.
