Art Nouveau Table Lamp in Sandstone by "Illums Bolighus", Copenhagen, 1930s

About the Item

Sculptural art nouveau table lamp made in Denmark in the 1930s and sold in "Illums Bolighus", Copenhagen. The base is made from sandstone and the front depicts the classical motif of a Faun or Pan eating grapes next to a young deer. The style is similar to Danish artists like Just Andersen, Axel Salto and Olaf Stæhr-Nielsen who all worked in ceramics around that time. The shade is a hand folded Le Klint that may be the original mounting. The lamp is a great example of early modernism in Danish design. Remains of sticker from "Illums Bolighus" underneath.

Lounge Chairs by Illums Bolighus Danish Art Weaving, Copenhagen, Denmark, 1950s
By Illums Bolighus, Kerstin Horlin Holmquist
Located in Odense, DK
Amazing pair of lounge chairs made for "Illums Bolighus", Copenhagen in the 1950s. Unknown designer but sometimes ascribed to Swedish designer Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist. The chairs are made from stained beech and have been reupholstered and hand sewn in chunky "Mcnutt" wool fabric from "Danish Art Weaving". One chair with original metal plaquette from Illums. The chairs were created for Illums Bolighus, which was originally founded in 1925 under the name of BO by Danish entrepreneur Kaj Dessau.
