ABOUT PRODUCTID 44358
This wall lamp, attributed to Claus Bolby from the late 1960s and 1970s, features a translucent, saturated orange acrylic shade set on a metal base with a neutral finish. The shade is constructed from vertically arranged rectangular acrylic segments of varying heights and widths, giving the fixture a sculptural, three-dimensional depth. The glossy, almost glass-like acrylic surface enhances the color and amplifies the play of light, while tiny air bubbles and subtle textural variations reveal the hand-molded technique typical of Scandinavian design from this era. A visible white cord adds a minimalist, functional accent, and the whole composition embraces the spirit of 1970s modernism, emphasizing playful form and material experimentation. The lamp is in good condition—no visible cracks, with minor surface marks and gentle patina consistent with age; all elements appear authentic and original.This wall fixture speaks in the language of Danish modernism, where light becomes a tool for shaping atmosphere and space. The shade, reminiscent of an orange mosaic, filters illumination to project glowing patterns and shadows on the wall—an echo of the era when Nordic designers experimented with plastics to reveal their unexpected beauty. Every detail—from the relief structure to the acrylic’s translucency—tells the story of a period marked by boldness in color and geometry, organizing even light itself into rhythmic, graphic compositions.The lamp can be paired
