Jørgen Wolff "Conus" Pendant Lamp, Denmark, c. 1958–60

€550.00

Solid Oregon pine, built up from tapered staves and shaped into a single seamless-looking cone — this is the piece Jørgen Wolff is remembered for. The story goes that it started as a wastepaper basket in his own workshop north of Copenhagen; turned upside down, it became a lamp, and instantly stood out since solid wood had never been used as a shade before. Made in a limited run of around 2,600 between 1958 and 1960, the Conus appeared throughout Danish interiors of the decade and has held its place ever since.

This example carries the warm honey tone and vertical grain that only comes with age and honest use. Wired and ready to hang.
