Table lamp ‘Bambi’ by Floris Fiedeldij
This rare modernist table lamp was designed in 1956 by Floris Fiedeldij and produced by Artimeta in Holland. Fiedeldij’s original design can be used as an adjustable desk lamp but can also be installed as a wall lamp. By moving the rod supporting the shade back or forward in the black foot you can adjust the height and angle of the lamp easily. The perforations in the head make for a nice spreaded light effect. In good vintage condition. We have a also a black Bambi lamp available.

On January 29th of 1921 Dutch designer Floris H. Fiedeldij was born in the free haven of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam Fiedeldij began his career as a graphic designer in advertising.
