Midcentury Modern White Table Lamp "Birdy" by Birger Dahl, Sonnico, Norway 1950s
About the Item
Midcentury Modern Birger Dahl "Birdy" Table Lamp for Sonnico, Norway (1950s). This architectural table lamp, designed by Birger Dahl in 1952, is a striking example of midcentury modern design from Norway. Known as the model "S-30016" and produced by Sønnico, this lamp showcases a polished metal body with elegant brass accents—a combination that is rare among vintage Birdy lamps from the 1950s.
The Birdy series, which includes table, wall, and floor lamps, reflects a modernist style that has stood the test of time. In 1954, the table lamp "S-30016" was awarded the prestigious Golden Medal at the Milan Triennale, cementing its place as a design classic.
In 2013, this iconic design was re-launched. However, the original blend of brass and white details, as seen in the vintage models, is no longer produced today, making these early versions even more sought after by collectors.
