Piano lamp c. 1928

Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud's "Piano Lamp" from c. 1928 exemplifies the sleek, functional aesthetic of the De Stijl movement. The lamp's minimalist design, featuring a chrome-plated steel base, a cylindrical shade, and a spherical reflector, embodies the principles of geometric purity and clean lines. This iconic piece of furniture exemplifies Dutch design, combining form and function in a timeless and elegant way. It is a testament to Oud's dedication to modernist principles and continues to be admired for its simplicity and sophistication.
