Per Linnemann-Schmidt "DL-49" Glazed Table Lamp for Palshus, Denmark 1960s
-
Description
Danish sculptor and ceramic artist Per Ingvard Henrik Wulff Linnemann-Schmidt was born in Copenhagen in 1912. He inherited his artistic lineage from his father, the renowned Danish sculptor Willie Wulff (1881-1962). Linnemann-Schmidt embarked on his artistic journey in 1931, enrolling at the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen, where he honed his expertise in life and figure drawing, as well as sculpting in clay, plaster, and bronze. In 1949, Per established Palshus Stentøj (Stoneware) in Sengeløse, and this was where he developed this beautiful model “DL-49” table lamp.
The “DL-49” lamp's body, made from high-quality ceramic, showcases a beautiful glazed finish in deep, earthy tones of black and brown. This glaze not only enhances the visual appeal of the lamp but also adds a layer of texture, creating a subtle interplay of light and shadow on its surface. The dark hues of the ceramic body also exude a sense of warmth and elegance, making it a versatile piece that can complement a variety of interior styles, from modern to rustic. The design is further elevated by its fabric cone-shaped shade, which provides a soft, diffused light that enhances the ambiance of any room. The contrast between the dark, glossy body and the light, airy shade creates a harmonious balance, emphasizing the lamp's sculptural qualities while still ensuring its functionality. The shade's simple, clean lines align perfectly with the lamp's overall aesthetic, reinforcing the artistic manner of Per Linnemann-Schmidt's work.
This lamp exemplifies the designer's ability to merge form and function seamlessly while staying true to his artistic background. Its robust-yet-elegant body results in a timeless piece that stands out as both a practical lighting solution and a work of art. The "DL-49" is not just a lamp: it is a testament to the enduring appeal of Scandinavian design, reflecting a commitment to quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship.
