A vintage pair of vintage table lamps designed by Rico and Rosemarie Baltensweiler.

This is a super sleek designed lamp with sculptural yet architectural qualities.This design is rare and not often seen in the market. It is 20 inches tall in the simplest position and and 37 inches wide when fully extended. The lamp turns on its own axis; the arm is fully adjustable; the upper section can be turned outward and the shade has full rotation.

The lamp is mid-century modern design deluxe. Its beauty is in its simplicity and the quality of the craftsmanship is of the highest standard. It is in very good condition. Both lamps are both in very good condition and function. This type of lamp belongs to the Type 600 family which gained acclaim and international fame when Knoll sold the floor version in the 1950's. These lamps are perfect to use as bedside reading lamps or to add a bit of architectural lighting to enhance your Herman Miller inspired interiors.

about the designer :: Baltensweiler, Rico & Rosmarie

Baltensweiler Lighting is based near Luzern Switzerland and was founded by the couple Rico, a former electrical engineer, and Rosemarie, a former student of Max Bill. The Baltensweilers originally started their workshop in their home and had a distinct architectural approach in creating their work. The couple’s designs gained international acclaim in the mid-50’s when Knoll International gained the rights to sell their lamps and Le Corbusier used their “600 lamp” in his model home exhibition in 1956.
