Aj Oxford Table Lamp

$1,284.00

This table lamp emits a pleasant downwardly directed light, which harmoniously illuminates the surface below it through the soft transparency of its triple-layered hand-blown opal glass. In the variant without the top metal shade, the milky opal-glass shade provides further glow to form an alluring halo around the fixture.

The AJ Oxford Table Lamp, inspired by the architecture of Oxford's St Catherine's College, reflects Arne Jacobsen's modernist design ethos. Originally created for the college's dining hall, it now stands as a timeless piece with a sleek stem and monochrome palette. Available in various heights and configurations, including options with or without a metal top shade, it caters to different spaces while honoring Jacobsen's original vision.

Designer

Arne Jacobsen, born and raised in Copenhagen, graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1927 and quickly established his own studio. Known for his strong decision-making as an architect, Jacobsen pioneered 'gesamtkunstwerk', designing buildings and meticulously crafting interior details like furniture and lighting. His iconic works include 'The Egg' and 'The Swan' chairs, and he taught at the Royal Danish Academy for 11 years, influencing a generation of Danish architects with his functionalist and minimalist approach.

Brand

Established in 1874 as a lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen has become one of the world's leading producers of lighting. This success is attributed to collaborations with renowned designers and architects like Arne Jacobsen, Øivind Slaatto, Poul Henningsen, and Verner Panton.
