Vintage Sculptural Floor Lamp Model E1770 by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen for ASEA, 1950s
Sculptural floor lamp, model E1770, designed by the famous Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen for the Swedish manufacturer ASEA in the 1950s. Characterized by its elegant angular metal structure and distinctive conical shade, this model perfectly illustrates Holm Sørensen's talent for combining playful sculptural forms with refined Scandinavian functionality. The lamp retains its original geometric silhouette and is a remarkable example of mid-20th century Nordic lighting design. This piece has been re-wired by a professional with a new twisted textile cable, an integrated switch, and a European plug, and is in perfect working condition. The metal structure and shade have been repainted later in a soft pale gray-green hue, instead of retaining their original factory finish. The new paint is neat and complements the lamp well, although it is a later modification. Light signs of wear testify to its age and vintage character. The shade is stamped ASEA with the model number E1770, confirming its authenticity. A Scandinavian floor lamp of remarkable elegance and balance, which works equally well as a reading lamp and as a sculptural centerpiece.
