Vintage Danish Modern Magnetic H.63 Lamp by Hans Jørgen Berthel, 1960s

This magnetic lamp was designed by Hans Jørgen Berthel for the Danish manufacture Abo Randers during the 1960s. Modell Ny-Mag H.63. This spherical lamp, in the style of Space Age, was made of metal in black. The lamp base is magnetic, which allows you to direct the light beam to any point.

Hans Jørgen Berthel designed this model in the early 1960s, but it was later replicated by several Danish and Italian manufacturers with subtle design changes, including Frandsen Lighting and E.S. Horn. Lamps were available in various colors and hung in many Danish homes. Following the merger of Danish lighting companies in the 1980s and 1990s, Abo was first incorporated into Lyskaer-Lyfa with Fog & Mørup, then jointly into ES Horn Belysning, which then became Lightyears and was acquired in 2015 by the Danish manufacturer Fritz Hansen furniture.

This lamp is in original vintage condition. It has scratches, scrapes but is fully functional. The light switch is on the cable. The lamp requires an E14 bulb with a maximum power of 40 W.
