Floor lamp for SAS Royal Hotel

The AJ floor lamp is a design for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which was inaugurated in 1960. Arne Jacobsen not only created the building, he also designed the entire interior, including furniture, cutlery, textiles and lighting, creating one of the first design hotels in the world.

Swivel shade in asymmetrical shape

AJ floor lamp stands out for its unusual swivel shade, whose asymmetrical shape distributes light accordingly. The base of the lamp with the characteristic opening adds to the elegance and weightlessness of the design. Thus, it has long been counted among the modern classics of design of the 20. century.

Conical metal shade

The angles of the conical metal shade are designed to match the angle of the lamp holder. At least that's how it was originally intended, but in reality the angle has been adjusted somewhat as an optical correction. When the lamp is tilted down, the edge of the lamp holder is horizontal. The inside of the shade is enameled matte white. The shielding is efficient, you can not see into the light source.

Rumor has it that the hole in the base of the lamp was originally intended for the use of an ashtray.
