Description
Maarten Van Severen (1956–2005) U-Line Reading Lamp, Model ST11, Reading lamp Metal Date of design: circa 1990 H122 W60 D24 cm The U-Line reading lamp, model ST11, is one of Maarten Van Severen’s most minimalist lighting designs: its inverted U-shape, with an almost architectural elegance, directs the light with precision and without any superfluous embellishment. The metal stem curves through space with a grace reminiscent of the finest Bauhaus designs, bringing this tradition up to date in a resolutely contemporary style. Produced in limited numbers, this reading lamp is particularly sought after by enthusiasts of Belgian design and collectors of Van Severen’s complete body of work. It complements the MVS CN chairs (lots 141, 142 and 144) perfectly to form a benchmark ensemble.
