AJ Table Lamp by Arne Jacobsen
• $920
• Hive
Designed in 1957, this eye catching design has made a huge comeback lately with it's dramatic mid-century styling and impeccable pedigree. The AJ was designed for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, for which Jacobsen designed every element, from the skyscraper structure to the stainless steel cutlery. I love it in white at bedside, just like this pic.
This also comes in a floor and sconce version. Steel stem, spun steel shade, die cast zinc base. Made in Denmark by Louis Poulsen. Incredible price!

I used to hate that hotel, so one day I sat down and read about it and what Jacobsen wanted to achieve, now I love passing it every morning and afternoon.
Sometimes good design can be a bit of an "acquired taste", but then so much more appreciated.
Good god, $920 for an AJ lamp! I have a knockoff for $100.
I finally gave in and ordered the floor lamp- amazing!
