Hans Bergström floor lamp

This rare floor lamp, model 569, was designed by the renowned Swedish lighting designer Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan during the 1950s. The piece is an excellent example of Bergström’s ability to merge functional lighting solutions with refined aesthetics, showcasing the elegance and playfulness typical of Scandinavian mid-century modern design.

The lamp features a slender, tripod base constructed from steel, finished in a blue-green lacquer that gives it a subtle yet distinctive character. Its conical lampshade, crafted from original floral-patterned fabric, introduces a soft decorative element that contrasts beautifully with the structural clarity of the base. The delicate pull switch, hanging from the shade, is a hallmark detail of Bergström’s lighting design, balancing practicality with a sense of refined craftsmanship.

Hans Bergström (1910–1996) was one of Sweden’s most influential lighting designers of the 20th century. As co-founder and artistic director of Ateljé Lyktan, he played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s reputation for innovative, human-centered lighting solutions that combined traditional materials with modernist principles. Ateljé Lyktan, founded in Åhus in 1934, became one of Scandinavia’s leading lighting manufacturers, known for its collaborations with leading designers and for its commitment to high-quality materials and craftsmanship.

This floor lamp exemplifies the Scandinavian mid-century approach to lighting — functional yet poetic, understated yet characterful. Its angled silhouette, lightweight construction, and original textile shade reflect the postwar era’s focus on domestic comfort and modern aesthetics. The lamp remains in good vintage condition with minor signs of use, preserving its original finish and patina, which contribute to its authenticity and charm.
