This Luminator Floor Lamp or 'Shadowless Lamp', designed by Wolfgang and Pola Hoffmann for Albert L. Arenberg's company 'Luminator Inc. Chicago, United States during the 1930s, is a masterful example of industrial elegance and minimalist design. Crafted from steel which reveals a grand patina, the lamp showcases the unique texture and depth that the material acquires over time, lending it a rich, moody character.
The understated form, with its sleek, angular lines, exemplifies the era’s focus on functional beauty, where every curve and contour serves both aesthetic and practical purposes. The steel’s dark patina contrasts beautifully with the warm, ambient light it casts, creating a soft, atmospheric glow that enhances any space. As the light spills from its sculptural body, it creates an intriguing play of soft shadows and highlights on the walls and ceiling, adding a playful yet sophisticated dynamic to the room. With its timeless appeal and refined craftsmanship, this lamp stands as a perfect testament to 1930s American design, blending modernist sensibilities with a quiet, enduring sophistication.
Made in Italy by 'Luminator Italiano' Milano under license for 'Luminator Inc.' Chicago. Wolfgang was the son of the famous architect Joseff Hoffmann. Pola Stout later became more famous for her designs of fabrics.
