AJ9 Bellevue Wall Lamp

The Bellevue Lamp was Arne Jacobsen’s first lighting design inspired by modern tubular steel manufacturing and modernist design of the Bauhaus era. The 45 degree cut shade appeared again on his famous Bellevue gas station and went on to become a feature in some of his later designs.

The bias-cut shade directs light without excessive glare, and the simple swan-neck design and clean construction echoes the modernist ambitions of his peers such as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Alvar Aalto.
