About the Item
1960s Dutch Modernist Adjustable Floor Light by Van Doorn Culemborg
A playful yet strictly minimalist example of Dutch Modernist lighting, designed by Willem van Doorn for Van Doorn Culemborg in the 1960s. Often referred to as the "Grasshopper" due to its angular, zoomorphic silhouette, this lamp balances architectural rigor with a lighthearted visual character.
The structure is defined by a slender, black-lacquered steel rod frame that splits into a tripod base, giving the lamp stability with a minimal visual footprint. The focal point is the conical aluminum shade, finished in a soft, pastel yellow lacquer. This shade is mounted on an adjustable brass swivel joint, allowing the user to toggle between direct reading light and indirect ambient illumination. The distinctive push-button switch is integrated directly into the shade housing, a signature detail of Van Doorn's engineering.
This piece represents the post-war Dutch "Goat" (Good Living) aesthetic, prioritizing clean lines and functionality. It serves as an ideal graphic accent for a living room or reading corner.
Good vintage condition. The yellow lacquer retains its vibrancy. The black metal frame shows minor signs of age appropriate for the period.
