Nigel Walters floor lamp in black and teak, Hagoort, Netherlands, 1958

This elegant modernist floor lamp was designed by Nigel Walters and produced by Hagoort in the Netherlands in 1958. A striking example of post-war Dutch lighting design, it combines a sculptural form with refined materials and functional clarity. The lamp features a distinctive boomerang-shaped base made of solid teak, showcasing warm tones and harmoniously balanced proportions. It is complemented by a lightweight black perforated metal shade, which creates a subtle and atmospheric light effect. Delicate brass details add a refined touch and highlight the high quality of craftsmanship. The adjustable construction enhances both utility and visual interest. With its modest scale and elegant silhouette, this floor lamp effortlessly fits into a wide range of interiors, from modern settings to 1950s decor. The design clearly reflects Scandinavian influences while remaining firmly rooted in the Dutch modernist tradition. Alongside Anvia, Hala, and Raak, Hagoort was a key innovator in the progressive lighting design of the 1950s. A rare and highly attractive piece, both sculptural and functional, making it an excellent addition to any modern interior, office, or carefully curated space.
