Rupert Nikoll Adjustable Dornstab Mid Century Brass Floor Lamp, Austria, 1950s
About the Item
A delicate and elegant Mid-Century floor lamp from the 1950s, designed and executed by Rupert Nikoll in Vienna, Austria. The lamp is made of brass and features a lovely curved brass base. Its lampshade has an unusual conical yet asymmetrical shape. The shade is height-adjustable using a mechanism very similar to that of the "Dornstab" floor lamp by J.T. Kalmar. Therefore, the lamp is very well suited as a reading lamp. It is in good condition and has been newly rewired with a fabric cord. The lampshade has been professionally restored in a refined, elegant light grey fabric, while the original frame has been carefully preserved to maintain its authentic proportions and measurements. In the style of Josef Frank, Haus & Garten, Svenskt Tenn.

Rupert Nikoll
The Rupert Nikoll lighting company’s biggest claim to glory came from producing work by the skilled Austrian jeweler and lighting designer Emil Stejnar. He designed several lighting and mirror pieces for the Austrian company. Stejnar had a penchant for symmetrical, rounded forms, often emulating starbursts or floral blossoms in his designs.
Very little information is recorded about the Rupert Nikoll lighting company or its namesake. The company was established in Vienna, Austria, in 1908, and later opened a branch in Munich, Germany. In 1966, its Vienna factory was relocated to Ober-Grafendorf, Austria, about 40 miles away. The company went out of business in 1986, closing the doors of all of its factories.
Decades later, Rupert Nikoll chandeliers and floor lamps still stand the test of time. One of Rupert Nikoll’s most famous designs is the Sputnik pendant lamp, created in the 1960s by Stejnar. With several lighted spokes extending out in every direction, forming a shape similar to a dandelion puff, the Sputnik pendant lamp earned the nickname “Pusteblume,” or “Dandelion” in English. Many imitators have replicated the Sputnik design, but the originals are highly valued by collectors and interior designers. The company is also celebrated for its Sumatra floor lamp, crafted from brass and featuring a curved spine and bipodal base.
