A rare and complete matching set of three cylindrical pendant lamps — Model 16542 — designed by Eila & John Meiling for Louis Poulsen in the 1970s. Clean, restrained, and quietly confident, these lamps are a textbook expression of Danish minimalist design at its most enduring.
Eila & John Meiling worked in close collaboration with Louis Poulsen, one of Denmark's most storied lighting manufacturers, producing a series of cylindrical pendants that have become quietly sought-after among collectors of Scandinavian mid-century design. The Model 16542 — finished in off-white with a grey inner rim — is among their most distinctive: simple in form, considered in proportion, and remarkably versatile in context.
Acquiring all three as a matched set is genuinely unusual. They work beautifully hung together at varying heights over a dining table or kitchen island, or distributed individually across a room.
The price listed is for the full set of three. If you are interested in purchasing one or two pieces separately, please contact us before placing your order.
Good vintage condition. All three shades are intact and matching, with natural patina consistent with age. Please study the photographs carefully — what you see is what you get.
