Modern Table Lamps
MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Mark Holmes 'Seam One' Table Lamp in 24k Gold Finish for E15 Selected
By Mark Holmes
Located in Tilburg, NL
Mark Holmes 'SEAM ONE' table lamp in 24K gold finish for E15 Selected. Designed in 2003, New Production.
To visually signify the company’s 10th anniversary, in 2006 e15 exchanged the e15 signal orange with gold. It symbolised the censure after this first decade of e15 and at the same time the transition into the next few years of our work. As a special product for the anniversary e15 presented the light SEAM ONE as a limited edition piece, which in its gold finish bridges the gap to our collection. The object by British designer Mark Holmes has been awarded several times (for example, IF-Design Award, Red Dot Design Award, Wallpaper* Editors Award) and has been part of the e15 collection since 2003. The light SEAM ONE is an elegant and contemporary interpretation of the classic table light whose sculptural body is a direct result of its clear lines and accurate folding. At the heart of the design is the aim to keep the number of components to a minimum, the construction as simple as possible, the proportions as balanced as possible and the light as strong as possible – requirements, product specific, which as such are at the heart of all e15 furniture pieces. The golden anniversary...
