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.

Swivelling shade in asymmetrical shape

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

Conical metal shade

The angle of the conical metal shade is 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 matte white enamel. 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.
