DOUBLE CONE WALL LAMP BY J.J.M. HOOGERVORST FOR ANVIA NEDERLAND, THE NETHERLANDS 1950s

A VERY RARE EXAMPLE OF DUTCH MID-CENTURY DESIGN BY J.J.M. HOOGERVORST FOR ANVIA. THIS DOUBLE WALL LAMP FEATURES TWO ICONIC CONICAL SHADES IN CONTRASTING BLACK AND YELLOW, MOUNTED ON A GRAPHIC TRIANGULAR WALL BRACKET.

BOTH SHADES CAN BE ADJUSTED INDIVIDUALLY AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL ON/OFF SWITCHES, WHICH ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL. THE SMALL PERFORATIONS IN THE SHADES CREATE SUBTLE POINTS OF LIGHT WHEN ILLUMINATED, ADDING TO THE LAMP’S DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER.

THE SHADES REMAIN IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITHOUT DENTS. THERE ARE VARIOUS SCRATCHES, PAINT LOSS AND SOME CORROSION MARKS CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND USE, ALL OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO ITS AUTHENTIC MID-CENTURY PATINA.

VERY FEW OF THESE DOUBLE-ARMED ANVIA WALL LAMPS HAVE SURVIVED, ESPECIALLY IN THIS STRIKING COLOUR COMBINATION. A HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE DESIGN BY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DUTCH LIGHTING DESIGNERS OF THE POST-WAR PERIOD, COMBINING SCULPTURAL FORM, FUNCTIONALITY AND A PLAYFUL USE OF COLOUR.
