Bellevue Table Lamp AJ8

The AJ8 Table Lamp was the third in the Bellevue series, appearing a year after Arne Jacobsen first introduced these modern marvels in 1929. Inspired by mass-produced tubular steel and the modernist tenets of the Bauhaus era, the lamp features a 45-degree cut shade to shield the eyes from glare and an adjustable goose neck. It's shocking to think of something so streamlined and modern as nearly a century old. The true legacy of the Bellevue Collection—be it this desk lamp, or the floor or wall lights—has to be Mr. Jacobsen's modest yet powerful testament to functional simplicity. No wonder this truly modern classic was reissued by fellow Danes &Tradition.
