This "Table Lamp" was designed by Walter von Nessen in 1935. Its sleek, modernist aesthetic is evident in the lamp's geometric form and the use of polished aluminum. The lamp features a stack of circular, graduated plates that are reminiscent of Art Deco design. The combination of metal and wood accents give the lamp an elegant finish. It is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Comments
The complex profile of this lamp is reminiscent of an engine piston or a modern-day outdoor heat lamp. Before coming to the United States in 1923, Walter von Nessen trained as an architect and designer in Berlin, Germany. There machines and mechanized production were seen as the basis for modern design, and those ideas are reflected in this lamp. He was instrumental in introducing these concepts to the United States.
