Information

This rare floor lamp, designed by Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian lighting design through its innovative dual-light function and refined craftsmanship. The lamp features a black lacquered metal structure with a dynamic, asymmetrical frame that adds sculptural interest and visual movement.

This combination allows for versatile lighting options, balancing atmosphere and task lighting in a single piece.

It measures 55 centimeters in width (21.7 inches), 22 centimeters in depth (8.7 inches), and 152 centimeters in height (59.8 inches), making it a striking yet versatile addition to any interior.
