JAL-P7-W · jacobsen royal floor lamp, white shade
|
jacobsen royal floor lamp Designed by Arne Jacobsen, 1956 Lamp designed for the Royal SAS Hotel in Copenhagen. Combination of bright
steel and linen in an elliptical shade that seems to float in the air. The
support fits into one side of the elliptical base. Raised on this support,
the shade becomes an extension of the base.
The architect Arne Jacobsen created this lamp that lights up any public or
private space, providing it with a great profusion of volatile, airy light
that perhaps makes a reference to SAS airlines, or even an inner world.
Jacobsen placed these gently softened lights in the entrance hall of the
Hotel Royal, bringing the chairs into view while throwing the rest of the
lobby into shadow. This differentiated large open spaces from the smaller
areas which became cosy meeting places.
The AJ Royal lamp is the result of combining simple geometric shapes to
create the final form. The profile of the shade, in linen, rises over a
column of shiny steel, reproducing the same shape as the elliptical base.
Four feet on the bottom raise the lamp from the floor. The solidity of
this cast iron base gives stability to a high, vertically soaring lamp.
The AJ Royal changes as you change your viewing position; if you look at it
from one side you will see a wide cylinder, which becomes slimmer as you
move towards the front. The shade extends lengthwise offering a dilated
surface for the diffusion of light and contrasting with the coldness of
the metal. The inside of the shade is lit by two light bulbs, one pointing
upward and the other downward, which can be lit independently to adjust the
intensity of the light as required.
The Royal lamp is the essence of Jacobsen's theory that "economy
and functionality equal style".
