Floor Lamp — Rudolf Arnold

Designed: 1960s · East Germany (GDR)

Designed by Rudolf Arnold in the 1960s, this floor lamp exemplifies East German modernist lighting with a strong emphasis on clarity and function. A slender metal stem rises from a tripod base, giving the lamp a light yet stable stance. The cylindrical plastic shade is defined by a deep, three-dimensional honeycomb pattern, which diffuses light softly while creating a pronounced graphic texture. The contrast between the industrial metal structure and the sculptural shade reflects the period’s experimental approach to materials and form.
