Floor lamp by Carl Moor for BAG Turgi in metal and brass, Switzerland, 1950s.

Floor lamp by Carl Moor for BAG Turgi in metal and brass, Switzerland, 1950s A well-designed floor lamp by Swiss designer and professor Carl Moor, produced by BAG Turgi in the 1950s. The lamp features two metal shades in the shape of a diabolo, one red and the other off-white, mounted on a slender black structure. The color contrast gives it a playful rhythm, while the shapes are intentionally harmonious — particularly visible in the way the upper parts of the shades respond to each other. The red shade is adjustable, allowing for directional lighting, for example, for reading. The tubular structure is fixed to a heavy base via an exposed clamping mechanism — a functional detail that adds visual interest. The foot switch controls both lights simultaneously, with an additional small brass toggle to control one of them separately. The lacquer on both shades is original, with minimal signs of age, making it very special. The piece has not been restored and has been intentionally left as found — showing honest traces of 75 years of use. The base is visibly patinated, with small rust spots preserved to highlight the age and authenticity of the lamp. These can be touched up upon request, but we have chosen to keep them for now. A rare piece full of character, with the right balance between geometry and imperfection. Several lamps from BAG Turgi may appear from time to time, but this one stands out — both for its condition and its expression. The design brings together a bold and balanced combination of red and white — a palette undeniably evocative of the Swiss flag. Dimensions Width: 33 cm Height: 173 cm
