Modeline was a lighting company based in California, USA that produced a wide range of innovative and stylish lamps during the mid-20th century. The company was founded in 1946 by Marianne and John Propst, who were both designers and artists.

Modeline's lamps were characterized by their unique and sculptural designs, which often incorporated organic forms, such as teak wood and rice paper shades. The company was known for its use of high-quality materials and attention to detail, which resulted in lamps that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Some of Modeline's most iconic designs include the "Atomic" table lamp, which features a tripod base and a round, white shade with small holes that create a starburst pattern when illuminated, and the "Eclipse" floor lamp, which features a circular wooden frame with a cutout design that casts interesting shadows on the surrounding walls.

Modeline's lamps were popular among mid-century modern enthusiasts and are still highly sought after by collectors today. The company's commitment to innovative design and quality craftsmanship helped to establish it as a major player in the lighting industry during the mid-20th century, and its legacy continues to inspire designers and artists to this day.
