The PEANUT lamp was introduced in 1946, at a time when fluorescent lighting was gaining widespread popularity across society.
But like many of his fellow contemporaries, Karlby shared a strong distaste for this harsh and cold lighting.
With its organic shapes and elegant brass detailing, complete with Karlby’s hallmark peepholes, the Peanut lamp became his
solution for soft and pleasant room lighting that was equally appealing to look at.
