About the Item

A refined and rare example of Danish mid-century lighting, this Grasshopper floor lamp was designed by Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen and produced by Holm Sørensen & Co. in 1950. This particular model stands out for its original white-painted finish, an uncommon and highly desirable version that adds a quiet elegance to its sculptural silhouette. The lamp’s softly conical shade features Holm-Sørensen’s signature die-cut perforations, casting a delicate, atmospheric glowing pattern when lit. The adjustable brass joint allows for directional lighting, combining beauty with function. Additional brass details, including the slender feet, enhance the overall sophistication and craftsmanship of the piece. This lamp is a quintessential example of Scandinavian lighting design from the 1950s, sharing a lineage with the poetic works of Paavo Tynell, Hans-Agne Jakobsson, and the Swedish house ASEA. With its minimal yet expressive form, this floor lamp embodies the essence of Nordic modernism—refined, functional, and emotionally resonant. In excellent original condition, this piece is both a collectible design object and a functional work of art, ideal for high-end interiors. Its timeless form and rare finish make it a discerning choice for collectors, interior architects, or anyone curating a sophisticated living or working space. This lamp is checked in our own atelier, cleaned and is also suitable for use in the USA as is. For US usage we could change the plug, or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it.
