"Stil Novo" table lamp by Nikoll

This distinctive table lamp was made in the 1950s in the workshop of Viennese lamp manufacturer Rupert Nikoll. Its striking cone shape is enhanced by the combination of crackle paint and delicate dove blue—a design choice inspired by Italian design. Nikoll was one of the most innovative lighting designers of his time and masterfully combined Austrian craftsmanship with modern influences. This authentic design piece documents the creative exploration of Vienna’s postwar design scene and stands out for its timeless elegance.
