A STRIKINGLY RARE GEOMETRIC AND SCULPTURAL WALL LAMP PRODUCED BY DIJKSTRA LAMPEN IN THE NETHERLANDS DURING THE 1980S. THE DESIGN COMBINES AN ANGULAR FOLDED-METAL REFLECTOR WITH A SOFTLY ROUNDED CENTRAL ELEMENT AND A CURVED FRONT PANEL. FINISHED ENTIRELY IN WHITE, THE CONTRASTING FORMS CREATE A CLEAN AND ARCHITECTURAL APPEARANCE.

THE CAREFULLY SPACED AND LAYERED ELEMENTS GIVE THE LAMP A REMARKABLE SENSE OF DEPTH, WHILE ITS APPEARANCE CHANGES WHEN VIEWED FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. THE LIGHT IS REFLECTED BETWEEN THE WHITE SURFACES AND PROJECTED INDIRECTLY ONTO THE SURROUNDING WALL, CREATING A WARM AND ATMOSPHERIC GLOW. EVEN WHEN SWITCHED OFF, THE LAMP FUNCTIONS AS AN ABSTRACT WALL SCULPTURE WITH A DISTINCTLY POSTMODERN CHARACTER.

RETAINING ITS ORIGINAL LABEL, THE LAMP REMAINS IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION, WITH ONLY MINOR TRACES OF AGE AND USE CONSISTENT WITH ITS AGE. A DISTINCTIVE EXAMPLE OF EXPERIMENTAL DUTCH LIGHTING DESIGN FROM THE 1980S, SUCCESSFULLY COMBINING GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION, SCULPTURAL DEPTH AND FUNCTIONAL INDIRECT ILLUMINATION.
