HEMP STRING & TEAK WOOD TABLE LAMP BY IB FABIANSEN FOR FOG & MØRUP, DENMARK, 1950S. THIS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE TABLE LAMP IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF EARLY SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN, COMBINING NATURAL MATERIALS WITH A HIGHLY SCULPTURAL AND INNOVATIVE FORM. OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR A DESIGN BY GERMAN MADE TEMDE LEUCHTEN, THIS IS A MODEL BY IB FABIANSEN, DISTINGUISHED BY THE SPECIFIC THICKNESS AND TYPE OF HEMP STRING USED EXCLUSIVELY IN HIS WORK.

THE SHADE IS WRAPPED IN ORIGINAL HEMP STRING, STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH THE ENTIRE SURFACE BEAUTIFULLY COVERED. AS EXPECTED WITH THIS DELICATE MATERIAL, THERE ARE SOME MINOR SIGNS OF AGE THAT ONLY ADD TO ITS AUTHENTIC CHARACTER. A PARTICULARLY RARE DETAIL IS THE ORIGINAL ACRYLIC DISC AT THE TOP OF THE SHADE, A COMPONENT THAT IS ALMOST ALWAYS MISSING. THE LAMP ALSO RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL PULL CORD. THE SHADE IS ATTACHED TO A STRIKING T-SHAPED TEAK BASE, WHILE THE WOODEN ARM CONTINUES IN A BEAUTIFUL CURVE OVER THE SHADE, CREATING AN EXTRAORDINARY SENSE OF FLOW AND BALANCE.

A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL DESIGN AND A TRUE COLLECTOR’S PIECE, THIS LAMP PERFECTLY CAPTURES THE WARMTH AND ELEGANCE OF 1950S DANISH MODERNISM. WITH ITS RARE SURVIVAL, UNIQUE CONSTRUCTION, AND SCULPTURAL PRESENCE, IT IS A REMARKABLE FIND. STUDIO HAAG IS PROUD TO OFFER THIS EXCEPTIONAL AND HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER MODEL.
