The AJ Oxford Table Lamp has a sleek graphic design, which reflects the architecture of St Catherine's College, in Oxford, for which it was originally designed. St Catherine's College, inaugurated in 1963, was designed by Arne Jacobsen in a modernist architectural style, which stands in contrast with the surrounding classical architecture of Oxford University. The AJ Oxford Table Lamp was first designed as a table pin lamp for the impressive dining hall at the college, which housed long rows of oak tables, seating 350 people. The table lamps act as centerpieces on the tables, while natural light comes from clerestory windows with the wall-mounted AJ Eklipta providing diffused general lighting. The lamp is still found at St Catherine's College, which is still in use today, both for teaching and as a residence hall for students. The AJ Oxford lamp features a slim stem, similar to those of the AJ lamp collection, which seamlessly merges into the circular base. With its graphic style and monochrome color palette, the AJ Oxford Table Lamp is a timeless addition to any home. The table lamp is available in a few variants, both with or without the metal top shade and in two different heights. The smaller one is ideal for compact spaces and sits perfectly on a shelf or windowsill, while the taller version is also available as a pin table lamp and a testament to Arne Jacobsen's original design.
When you take a closer look at the AJ Oxford, you begin to notice little details. For example, the brass screw that holds the shade in place, as well as the elegant way the cable is channelled through the stem of the lamp.

Arne Jacobsen
Arne Jacobsen (1902—1971) is one of the most influential Danish architects and designers of the 20th century. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen, where he was also a professor of architecture for a long period.
Arne Jacobsen put his modernist stamp on architecture and design for more than 50 years—not only in Denmark but also internationally. His output was enormous, originating in a philosophy of creating total concepts, where everything was thoroughly designed, with a common thread running through all his work—buildings, furniture and other interior decor. Arne Jacobsen's productions are more relevant than ever—and have enjoyed a strong revival over the last 20 years. He embodies the balancing act of elite creator and household name.
