The AJ Oxford table lamp by Louis Poulsen emits a pleasant downward directed light, which harmoniously illuminates the surface below it through the soft transparency of the three-layered mouth-blown opal glass. The variant without the top metal shade, the milky opal glass shade provides further glow to form an alluring halo around the fixture.
The AJ Oxford Table Lamp has a sleek graphic expression, which reflects the architecture of St Catherine's College, in Oxford, for which it was originally designed. St Catherine's College, inaugurated in 1963, was designed by Arne Jacobsen in a modernist architectural style, which stands in contrast with the surrounding classical architecture of Oxford University. The AJ Oxford Table Lamp was first designed as a table pin lamp for the impressive dining hall at the college, which housed long rows of oak tables, seating 350 people. The table lamps act as centrepieces on the tables, while natural light comes from clerestory windows and the wall-mounted AJ Eklipta provides diffused general lighting. The lamp is still found at St Catherine's College, which is still in use today, both for teaching and as a halls of residence for students.
Please note: The union nut and fingerscrew holding the shade in place come in untreated brass which will patinate.
