Description from the seller

Frandsen – FM 1954 Floor Lamp – Matt Black
Designed by Friis & Moltke

Bring a timeless piece of Danish design history into your home with the FM 1954 floor lamp by Frandsen. Originally conceived in 1954 by the renowned architectural duo Friis & Moltke, this lamp is a masterclass in minimalism and functionality. The updated edition maintains the clean lines of the original design while incorporating modern details that enhance both its visual appeal and usability in contemporary interiors.

Iconic Design with Refined Simplicity
The FM 1954 is celebrated for its graphic elegance and architectural clarity. Crafted from matt lacquered metal, the lamp features a sleek, slim stem and a softly rounded shade that gives it a light and balanced appearance. A newly added acrylic diffuser at the top ensures a soft, glare-free illumination that disperses beautifully throughout the room, highlighting the lamp’s thoughtful construction. It is ideal for placement next to a reading chair, by the sofa, or as an atmospheric light source in a stylish living space.

Timeless Colour – Versatile Aesthetics
This version in matt black adds a bold and elegant accent to any setting. It creates a striking contrast in lighter rooms or enhances the sophistication of darker, more dramatic interiors. The understated finish allows the sculptural silhouette to speak for itself, making it suitable for both modern and classic décor.

Built to Last – Design That Endures
With its robust metal frame and enduring aesthetic, the FM 1954 is more than a lamp – it’s an investment in lasting design. Made to transcend trends, it offers both visual harmony and everyday practicality for years to come.

About the Designers
Knud Friis (1926–2010) and Elmar Moltke Nielsen (1924–1997) co-founded their architectural studio FRIIS & MOLTKE in 1954. Throughout the 1960s and beyond, they introduced a softer, Danish interpretation of Brutalism, characterised by raw materials, strong geometries, and integration with the surrounding landscape. Their groundbreaking architectural work – both in Denmark and internationally – left a significant mark on Scandinavian design history. The FM series is a testament to their shared creative vision and enduring legacy.
