Trombone Floor Lamp

The Trombone series was designed in 1966 by the renowned Danish lighting designer Jo Hammerborg. Simple and elegant floor lamp in a tight geometric design. By virtue of its strict design, the Trombone floor lamp gives character to its surroundings. The floor lamp’s shade consists of a simple metal cylinder, which has a circle of narrow vertical slits punched out both above and below, which allow the light to pass through the metal and illuminate the fixture. In combination with the white inside of the cylinder, it creates a uniquely beautiful light effect, and the light can be controlled as needed by moving the flexible lamp head up or down. The cylinder balances elegantly between two slender metal rods connected by a single crossbar – a design expression that brings to mind a draft trumpet and inspired the lamp’s name – while the square base emphasizes the tight geometric design. In addition to the floor lamp, the Trombone series also includes a table lamp and pendant, which are available in either brushed brass or brushed aluminum and bear witness to Jo Hammerborg’s love of metals.
