Luxo L9 orange single-arm lamp on plinth

Very nice little luxo lamp. Alternative model much rarer than the usual type with two arms in colors more reminiscent of the world of the house than that of the office or workshop. 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. In the 1940s, it was the most common working lamp, both in europe and in the united states. The lamp has been completely cleaned and the electricity redone.
