Product Details
A large Dutch 1920s floorlamp with a modernist constructivist design, as well as some characteristics of the Amsterdamse/Haagse School. Made in solid oak with a stepped, and partly blackened design on the four sides of the base. Keeping in mind that this object was designed in the 1920s it is remarkable that the shape of the base almost looks like a vessel from the vintage computer game Space Invaders! This base measures 50 x 50 cm.
The lamp comes with a vintage linen lampshade (50-55 cm wide and 50 cm in height). Works with one lightbulb (E27). Has a European plug. The lampfitting has been renewed, but is not new (ca. 1980s)
The lamp is depicted as model no.263 in the Genneper Molen catalogue no. 3 (from 1920s). These lamps were sold without the lampshade.
The modernist ideology can be called anti-traditional. The modernists saw their designs as a break with the traditions of art, in which the ornaments used often had a historical origin. Especially after the First World War, the modernists started to rebel against these traditional ideas and forms of art and architecture, to better reflect the modern industrialized society. This led to innovative designs with a more modern and rationalist appearance.
