Large Luxo lamp on plinth

Large lamp of the luxo brand designed in 1938. This lamp was created by the norwegian jacobsen (1901-1996), importer of machine tools for the textile industry. The latter received an english-made lamp model in 1936. Struck by the ingenuity and design of the object, he bought the manufacturing license for the scandinavian countries, then redesigned it by simplifying its forms. Made in oslo, luxo. L1-p (literally "i give light" in latin) was officially born in 1938. It is established in schools, offices, industrial workshops, health sites, design and architectural agencies.
