About the Item

Karina table lamp by Bent Karlby for ASK Belysning in 1971, Super cute and rare table lamp in acrylic and rosewood. A space-age table lamp with a trumpet shaped base cast in bright orange acrylic, a rosewood middle piece and a bright orange acrylic outer shade, shaped like a half circle. The outer shade is fitted on a white acrylic inner shade, trumpet shaped towards the bottom and open towards the top. The rosewood middle piece is probably a later added part to extend the height of the table lamp, you are able to remove the rosewood piece if you want, but I think that it add an elegant touch to the overall appearance. When lit, the bright orange outer shade becomes almost red and radiates a warm orange toned ambiance, while the white inner shade conceals the bulb and ensures a glare free light. Absolutely a cute and super charming beauty and a pretty rare piece with numerous applications for the modern home - it would really pop on a credenza in the living room, in the bedroom as a cozy bedside light or perhaps on a shelf to accent any area in need of a mood lift. Bent Karlby and ASK Belysning collaborated for a brief period in 1970 and 1971, as Karlby designed a lighting series in Plexiglas and acrylic. Among these are the ERGO, the PAN (in new material and new colors) and the Karina. This is a rare find, a Karina table lamp by Bent Karlby with intact white and orange acrylics parts. Condition: All original, but rewired with 1,5 m (4' 11.1") white plastic cord and fitted with on/off switch, placed at convenient height at the cord and EURO-style plug - which is easily changed to your specific plug. Tested and fully functional. Cleaned, labeled and packed in protective bag. Light source: One bulb, Edison screw-fitting (E14/E12 with adapter) Max 40 Watt.
