Hillebrand Geometric Table Lamp, Yellow Shade and Chrome Stem, 1970s

This striking table lamp, designed by Hilbrand in the 1970s, is a bold example of geometric modernist lighting. Its sculptural form is defined by a sharply angled rectangular shade in mustard-yellow lacquered metal, mounted on a chrome-plated steel stem that rises diagonally from a matching rectangular base. The interplay between the painted metal and reflective chrome gives the lamp a dynamic architectural presence, balancing industrial precision with a playful use of color.
The shade houses two bulbs, providing ample light while the slotted upper section allows subtle diffusion. The lamp retains its original wiring, inline switch, and European plug, all showing natural patina consistent with age and use. The chrome surface exhibits oxidation and pitting, and the lacquered finish carries small scuffs and edge wear, enhancing its authentic vintage character.
With its compact yet commanding proportions—45 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 17.5 cm deep—this piece works equally well as a desk, reading, or accent lamp. Hilbrand’s design ethos combined functionality with sculptural form, and this lamp exemplifies that spirit. A collectible statement piece for lovers of 1970s modern design, it brings both light and personality to contemporary interiors.
