Originally designed for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, in 1957, the AJ Lamp is among Arne Jacobsen’s most significant design icons.Originally, the product family comprised a floor lamp, a wall lamp, a table lamp and a smaller table lamp, as well as a table lamp that was designed to be attached to the table.The AJ Mini Table Lamp has an iconic, graphic expression, that aligns wonderfully with Jacobsen’s design style and contrasted with the curvature of some of the furniture at the SAS Royal Hotel.The timeless design of the lamp ensures that it lends itself to every interior, and over the years the colour palettes have been adapted in line with modern interior trends.
The anniversary edition features a brass stem and the shade is painted pale rose on the inside, which provides a soft, warm light.
“The program does not allow for it. I simply do not think that I have the talent for it...no, I am always grateful for the program, this is what evokes the solutions that I arrive at.” Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen's cooperation with Fritz Hansen dates back to 1934. However, it was the Ant designed in 1952 - succeeded by the 3107 series - that propelled his and Fritz Hansen's names into furniture history.
Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was very productive both as an architect and as a designer. At the end of the 50s Arne Jacobsen designed the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, and for that project the Egg, the Swan, the Swan sofa and Series 3300.
Arne Jacobsen was and is an admired and outstanding designer. While the significance of Arne Jacobsen's buildings was less appreciated, his furniture and other design work have become national and international heritage.
