About the Item

Sleek adjustable task floor lamp by Koch & Lowy, signed OMI. This tall modern task lamp features a bright polished chrome finish with a pivoting triangular shade and dimmer knob. Height is adjustable from 35 inches to 49 inches. Base measures 9.25" x 6.25" Collectors know Koch & Lowy for its eye-catching sold brass five-arm chandeliers, sleek chrome swing-arm floor lamps and clever table lamps with marble bases. With a wide range of sculptural mid-century modern and 1970s-era fixtures created by the likes of George Nelson, Karl Springer, Piotr Sierakowski and others, the American lighting manufacturer elevated the design of furniture and home decor from the postwar era onward. Great historic tidbit: The Pharmacy Tent floor lamp, which Thomas Lowy admitted he copied unwittingly from Omaha architect Cedric Hartman, was particularly popular. “I’d bought a tent [lamp] in Italy, but it had been made so badly that I decided to make a better one,” Lowy explained to the New York Times in 1976. “I didn’t know that the Italian one wasn’t original. I didn’t know it was a copy of Hartman’s design.”
