Table Lamps

In homage to Arne Jacobsen’s legendary architectural Bellevue projects, the Bellevue Lamp is captured in all its authenticity – in a lovely plug-in table lamp that comes in two versions; with and without switch. Boasting its signature swan neck and 45-degree shade, it is the epitome of beauty and simplicity in a curvaceous silhouette that beckons you to come closer. Watch for a modern mix of intriguing new colours and materials. Part of &tradition’s desire to keep this icon alive in the hearts and minds for generations to come.

With the Bellevue Lamp, Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen embodies the minimalism of the Modernist Movement with the practicalism of Bauhaus. Viewed as the driving force behind Danish Modernism, Jacobsen’s preference for graceful lines and simple, organic forms are readily recognisable in the Bellevue Lamp. The re-launch of this iconic lamp involves a return to the original Bellevue shape in three styles: the floor lamp, three desk lamps and wall lamp.

The quilted surface texture of the Blown table lamp is distinctive in itself. Switched on, the lamp projects a pattern of reflections and refractions that add a touch of art to a cosy, intimate atmosphere. An extension of the small Blown pendant also by Samuel Wilkinson, it features a silver tinted translucent glass in the same small size, secured upright on a black marble base with a dimmer to adjust the light. Ideal in a private setting by a bedside, desk or windowsill, as well as a commercial or retail venue as part of a display, you can art direct the effect to be subtle or striking.

In 1968 the students revolts in Paris, Rome and the United States were overthrowing stiff, old values, and initiating the Flower-Power generation of peace, love and harmony. Same year, Stanley Kubrick pictured the future of the year 2001, featuring the Verner Panton Chair, and man was soon to set foot on the moon. In the world of design, a colourful, playful pendant hung in restaurants and exhibitions, and very soon, in everybody’s homes. The FlowerPot with its two semicircular spheres facing each other has long proved its lasting design quality and is just as much a synonym of our time, too. & In his young days, Panton often set off from Copenhagen in an odd looking converted Volkswagen for a trek across Europe, dropping in on fellow designers to share ideas – and good meals.

Delicate materials and hand craftsmanship give the iconic Asian lantern a contemporary twist with the Formakami table lamp by Jaime Hayon. The result is an ambient light in a lamp where the design itself appears light. It’s a hybrid concept fusing different aspects of cultures into a new design idiom. Airy, bulbous shapes crafted in ivory white rice paper with black lacquered ash accents look Asian and yet somewhat Scandinavian. Place the lamps in a modern milieu and cultural references disappear – replaced by a sense of magic. Switched off, there’s a sense of serenity. Switched on, there’s intimacy.
