Einar Johansen Blue Stoneware Table Lamp for Søholm, Denmark ca 1960s

About the Item

This table lamp was designed by the brilliant Danish artist, Einar Johansen, and produced by Søholm Stentøj (Søholm Stoneware). The manufacturer was one of the oldest and most revered names in Danish ceramics, located on the island of Bornholm. Johansen originally trained as a painter at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen where he honed his artistic skills before his employment at Søholm Stentøj. This lamp’s structure showcases a geometric body with a long neck that ends with a classic empire shade. It is adorned with a distinctive decorative element on the front part of the body, displaying a sculptural motif shaped like fluted steps. The lamp has a particularly lovely glaze, thick, deep, and full of colour nuances. The glossy body has blue and dark brown tones which highlight Johansen’s artistic touch. The tapered neck is gently rounded, providing the perfect support for the shade. The empire shade features a light fabric, completing the piece and giving a warm, inviting feel to it. A balance between softness and structure characterise this piece, the heavy stone body is softened by gentle curves and crevices and the pleasant warm light, creating exquisite harmony. With its playful design and intriguing glazing technique the table lamp provides plenty of visual interest. The overall aesthetic is essentially Nordic modern thanks to the combination of interesting material choices and a design that feels organic and natural In the middle of the 20th century, Einar Johansen created a wide range of stoneware, known as his "blue series" which has become highly sought after by collectors today. His works tread a fine line between art and design; they are not just functional objects but a piece of decor that encapsulates the organic aesthetic of mid-20th century design.
