Greta von Nessen Double Cone Desk Lamp
Mid-Century Modern Classic | Circa 1950s
A striking example of mid-century innovation, this double cone desk lamp by Greta von Nessen perfectly embodies the era’s blend of form and function. Featuring her iconic aluminum shades and clean, architectural lines, the lamp delivers directional lighting with sculptural style—ideal for a desk, bedside, or reading nook.
Made of brushed nickel body and painted aluminum shades, the piece shows slight signs of age with character: one shade has a visible scratch, and the other a subtle dent—both cosmetic flaws that don’t compromise its functionality or visual impact.
An enduring piece by one of the few prominent female designers of the era, and a smart addition for any collector of American modern lighting.
