Mid-century Dornstab floor lamp by A. Pöll for Kalmar

Vintage design. Rare floor lamp by Kalmar. An early classic of design that draws its elegance from the functionality of design. The uniqueness lies in the arrangement of the lampshade. The sword-shaped axis passes through the screen and extends upwards from the opening. The design allows for manual height adjustment. For this purpose, pins are located at regular intervals at the upper end where the lampshade is mounted on the axis. At the bottom of the screen, there is a temple and a wooden handle. This simple height adjustment results from the actual design of this floor lamp as a reading lamp. Another special feature is the design of the base. Instead of a heavy plate base, the base is bifurcated into two points that support the load of the cantilevered axis.
