About the Item
This striking desk lamp reflects the architectural precision and postmodern sensibility of Dutch designer and architect Mart van Schijndel. Its angular silhouette, constructed in metal, combines functional clarity with sculptural presence. The bold geometry and clean lines reveal a design language that bridges architecture and object, embodying the postmodern exploration of form beyond pure utility.
Produced in very limited numbers, this lamp is an extremely rare collectible design object, sought after by collectors for its architectural quality and historical significance within Dutch design of the late 20th century.
About the designer:
Mart van Schijndel (1943–1999) was a celebrated Dutch architect and designer, known for his innovative approach to both buildings and objects. His work is marked by clarity, geometry, and poetic minimalism, with an emphasis on precision and material integrity. Van Schijndel’s designs have been exhibited internationally, and he remains a key figure in Dutch architectural design history.
