Hans Bergström floor lamp

This rare floor lamp, model C-770, was designed by Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden, during the 1950s. The lamp exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century modern design, combining brass, wood, and fabric to create a harmonious and elegant piece. It features a slender, ribbed wooden stem accented with brass details, supporting a spherical pleated fabric shade. The solid brass base provides stability and serves as a visually balanced foundation for the lamp.

The pleated fabric shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm and inviting glow. Its internal frame maintains the shade’s shape while allowing the light to pass through evenly. The use of natural materials and refined proportions is characteristic of Hans Bergström’s design philosophy, which emphasizes both organic form and functional elegance.

Hans Bergström was a prominent figure in Swedish lighting design, known for integrating sculptural elements with practical lighting solutions. Ateljé Lyktan, established in 1934, became one of Sweden’s leading lighting manufacturers, renowned for its innovative designs, quality craftsmanship, and use of premium materials.

The lamp measures 173 cm in height, with the shade diameter at 45 cm (68.1 x 17.7 inches). The brass components exhibit natural aging and patina consistent with the lamp’s vintage status. The fabric shade remains in its original shape and texture, showing minor wear typical of vintage textiles.
