About This Piece

Vintage Design

Iconic Dutch design classic from the fifties, this magnificent 'Magneto' adjustable floor light.
It was produced for only a few years between the mid-fifties to ca 1960. The most of these lights already found their way to private collections all over the world, and it is getting hard to find one in good shape in the most attractive version with the tripod grasshopper base and cone-shaped metal weight. Great major detail is the most efficient magnetic ball-and-socket joint, to which the design is named after. Fantastic original switch and plug.

Atelier Artiforte was a small company based in Rotterdam, specialized in handcrafted lighting fixtures and nowadays well-known by their very progressive lighting designs created by Kho Liang Ie, Johan Niegemann and H. Fillekes. The company was clearly inspired by designs of Stilnovo, Arredoluce and W. Rietveld.

All sizes are correct ( not cut off ), All -original- joints function perfectly. Dent free, not warped original shade, well refinished matt black by original methods. Metal horizontal bar has some normal ( charming ) wear. Bulb Holder normal E 27, Suitable for modern LED bulbs. This lamp can be used in your home instantly!
