A true mid-century design icon — the Modeline Model 635 lamp, designed by Arthur Jacobs for Modeline of California in 1959.
This sculptural piece features elegantly curved walnut spires surrounding a brass centre column and base plate, showcasing the signature organic form and craftsmanship that made Modeline one of the most collectible American lighting brands of the era.
It’s paired with a custom handmade atomic-inspired shade, crafted from high-quality cotton fabric featuring retro orange, turquoise, grey and black tones. The pattern pays homage to 1950s atomic design, adding a vibrant pop of mid-century character while complementing the lamp’s warm timber and brass accents.
