Model E1189 Desk Lamp

A striking example of Scandinavian mid-century design, this table lamp by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen for ASEA embodies the refined industrial aesthetic of the 1950s. The adjustable cylindrical metal shade, finished in matte black with a contrasting red-toned interior, directs light with precision while creating a soft, atmospheric glow.

The shade is supported by a slender, sculptural tripod base in patinated metal, giving the lamp a light yet architectural presence. Functional and expressive, the design reflects Holm Sørensen’s ability to combine clean lines with subtle decorative details.

Compact yet characterful, this piece works beautifully on a desk, side table, or shelf, adding a touch of Scandinavian modernism and understated drama to any interior.
