Description
Vintage Danish Luxo Blue Enamel Desk Lamp. Superb quality enamelled metal desk lamp in a rare & stunning mid/teal blue colour. This fully adjustable & pivoting lamp is a high quality vintage item made with all metal fittings. The Luxo 'Arkitekt' lamp range was first designed by Norwegian Jac Jacobsen in the 1930s. This model was made in Denmark, probably in the 1970s. The lamp arm is approximately 90cm high above the desk when fully extended. The shade is 19cm wide at its opening & 18cm long. It is attached to the desk through a clamp mechanism. This lamp is in fully working very good vintage condition. It has signs of age including scratches, loss of enamel & rust. Generally in really good condition for a lamp of its age & the patina really suits the industrial style. _____________________________________________________________________ It has been thoroughly refurbished with each part taken apart & restored. It has been rewired with vintage look black braided cable. We can fit a UK/Irish, European, Aus/NZ plug or American plug. It takes a E27 bulb (not included) maximum 40w or 7w LED. The bulb in the photos is a vintage look ST58 LED Filament bulb (not included). If used in the USA/100/110/120v we recommend using an energy saving/LED bulb. E26 bulbs should fit but because they are 1mm smaller they will need to be fully turned to ensure it makes contact with the fitting. ______________________________________________________________________ The Luxo ‘Arkitekt’ desk lamp, is a contemporary of the British Anglepoise lamp. The first Arkitekt model, the L-1, was designed by Norwegian Jac Jacobsen in 1937 & is still produced today. in the 1960s/70s Luxo lamps were produced by Danish lighting companies such as Louis Poulsen. The pivoted clamp lamps produced in the 1970s were originally an all metal construction designed for industrial/commercial use. in the 1980s/90s a lower cost version of this lamp using much more plastic was produced in a variety of bright colours & sold on the high street. ______________________________________________________________________ Note that we have attempted to show & state the condition as accurately as possible but this is a pre-loved, vintage item & some minor signs of age and/or use are to be expected. There may also be slight variations in the colours shown due to lighting, the camera lens & the device the image is viewed through.
