Pair of Einar Johansen Stoneware Table Lamps for Søholm Stentøj, Denmark 1960s

Creator: Einar Johansen - Søholm Stentøj – Soholm ceramics
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This pair of stoneware table lamps was designed by the brilliant Danish artist, Einar Johansen, and produced by Søholm Stentøj (Søholm Stoneware). The manufacturer was one of the oldest and most revered names in Danish ceramics. It was founded in Rønne on the Baltic island of Bornholm in 1835, and produced ceramics until the factory closed in 1996.

Johansen originally trained as a painter at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and that truly shows in his ceramic work as well. This table lamp model has a ceramic body featuring a beautiful ceramic glaze in shades of white, brown, and blue, and a clear artistic touch. Two opposing sides feature a sculptural motif shaped like five fluted steps leading up to the neck. These showcase the colour variation and play of the glazed clay and provide plenty of visual interest. The flared neck has gently rounded edges, providing the perfect support for the shade. The classic bell shape of the shades is covered by a light fabric. The overall aesthetic is essentially Nordic modern thanks to the combination of interesting material choices and a design that is inspired by nature.

In the middle of the 20th century, Søholm produced a wide range of stoneware in various patterns and shapes. During that time, Einar Johansen was employed at the manufactory, designing and creating a wide range of stoneware, where his "blue series" is the most highly sought after by collectors today.
