This pair of working vintage table lamps by Jo Hammerborg for Markel Lighting Inc features a Brutalist design in aluminium and fabric, dates from 1960–1970 and has small signs of age and use.
Description from the seller
This is a set of two vintage table lamps, crafted with a striking contrast in materials and textures. The design combines a sleek, minimalist form with an expressive, almost Brutalist finish—characteristic of the late 20th-century design era. The lamps stand out due to their purely cylindrical silhouette, which lends them a sculptural quality, even when not illuminated.
The base of each lamp is made of brushed aluminum, providing a subtle, matte sheen. Resting atop this is a metal shade featuring a unique, speckled, and textured finish in a dark, anthracite-grey tone. This finish creates a captivating play of light and shadow across the surface. The interior of the shade is finished in white lacquer to optimize light reflection, resulting in a warm, atmospheric glow that is cast both upwards and downwards. The lamps retain their original wiring and are equipped with European plugs.
The set is in good vintage condition, consistent with its age and history of use. The combination of a smooth, cool base and a rough, tactile shade gives these lamps a distinctive character. They are in perfect working order and ready to make a statement in a new interior.
Thanks to their symmetrical, architectural design, these table lamps are ideal for placement on a sideboard, a hallway console, or as a pair on bedside tables. They fit beautifully into interiors influenced by Mid-Century Modern, Brutalism, or a minimalist, industrial aesthetic.
Appears with traces of use, one of the lampshades has a scrache that go with the age and history of the lamp ( see photos ) !!
