About the Item

This rare floor lamp, known as the Pelican model, was designed by Julius Theodore Kalmar in 1950. It features a sculptural black metal stem, dual conical shades in cream-white, and elegant brass accents. Offering both uplighting and directional task lighting, the lamp blends functionality with refined form. The adjustable arm adds versatility, while the minimalist base ensures stability with a sleek silhouette.
