Like his father, Esben drew upon historically successful furniture types and principles of classical design. Although fresh, unfussy and distinctly modern, the Model 301\/27 is also rooted in tradition and possess a feeling of familiarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurned from beautifully grained solid oak, each lamp features a broad circular base with a delicate lip. From here rises a slender, gently tapered stem. The continuous silhouette is punctuated by two incised collars, reminiscent of the nodes on bamboo, before transitioning to the stepped brass lighting components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subtle detailing on an otherwise restrained form is characteristic of the Klint approach: decoration is incorporated into the construction and silhouette rather than applied to it. As a result, the simplicity of the design allows the natural grain and warm colour of the oak to become an important part of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSympathetically restored and presented as a matching pair, the lamps are particularly impressive together. Their generous scale and repetition of the two sculptural forms gives them an architectural quality. Available with or without shades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Klint","offers":[{"title":"With Shades","offer_id":62620593160579,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No Shades","offer_id":62620593193347,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9331\/1702\/files\/esben-klint-model-301-27-table-lamps-le-klint-denmark.jpg?v=1789462062","url":"https:\/\/www.artandutility.co.uk\/products\/esben-klint-pair-of-oak-model-301-27-table-lamps","provider":"Art \u0026 Utility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
