Stilarmatur floor lamp

This floor lamp was produced by AB Stilarmatur in Tranås, Sweden, during the 1950s and exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian design through its combination of brass and fabric materials. The lamp’s structure consists of a slim brass rod rising from a circular brass base, which includes a spherical brass element that adds balanced proportions and a sculptural presence.

The lampshade is made from pleated fabric shaped into a sphere and supported by an internal frame to maintain its form. Over time, the fabric has developed a warm patina that enhances the lamp’s vintage character. This soft material diffuses light evenly, creating a gentle ambient glow that complements the sleek brass stand.

AB Stilarmatur was a Swedish lighting manufacturer known for its refined craftsmanship and dedication to elegant yet practical lighting solutions. Their floor lamps from this era typically feature brass components paired with fabric shades, reflecting mid-century modernism’s focus on organic shapes and quality materials.

The lamp measures 172 cm in height, with the shade having a diameter of 48 cm (67.7 x 18.9 inches). The brass surfaces display natural oxidation and patina consistent with age, while the fabric shade shows signs of wear typical of vintage textiles.
