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.
