Description:

This “Crylicord” table lamp by Peter Hamburger for Knoll International reflects the sleek material experimentation of 1970s American modern design. The lamp is formed with a continuous shaped colorless acrylic glass rod, creating a transparent looped structure that feels both minimal and sculptural.

The curved acrylic frame supports a chrome-plated sheet metal shade, giving the piece a refined contrast between clarity, reflection, and industrial precision. The shade has a softly curved profile, directing light downward while preserving the lamp’s clean architectural silhouette.

Compact yet highly distinctive, the design captures the period’s interest in new materials, fluid forms, and functional modernism. Its transparent base gives the lamp a visual lightness, while the metal shade adds a crisp technical edge.

Ideal for a desk, side table, console, bedside setting, or curated modern interior, this Knoll International table lamp brings together Peter Hamburger’s material-focused design language, 1970s modernist character, and understated sculptural elegance.
