Floor lamp

This is a height-adjustable floor lamp, model 7070, produced by Falkenbergs Belysnings AB in Sweden during the 1960s. The design exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century functionalism, emphasizing utility, precision, and minimal ornamentation. The lamp is composed of lacquered steel and brass elements, with a conical metal shade and a flexible arm that allows for directional lighting, ideal for reading or task illumination.

The shade is executed in white lacquered metal and features evenly spaced perforations near the lower rim, allowing for controlled ambient glow while preventing glare. It is mounted on a gooseneck-style brass stem, which permits fine adjustment of the light angle. The brass continues downward into a vertical guide tube, which allows the height of the entire upper assembly to be raised or lowered via a brass handle grip. The adjustment mechanism is framed by a looped brass detail that also serves as a visual accent.

The base of the lamp is circular, made of black lacquered steel, providing stability while maintaining a slim visual profile. The overall design employs a restrained palette—white, black, and polished brass—which typifies the Scandinavian modernist approach to functional lighting design.

Falkenbergs Belysnings AB was a Swedish manufacturer active during the postwar period, known for producing quality lighting with practical design considerations and high-grade materials. Model 7070 represents a type of flexible lighting solution that gained popularity during the 1960s, balancing adaptability with visual clarity.

The lamp is in good vintage condition, with scattered signs of wear and patina to the brass and painted surfaces. The perforated shade and brass mechanism remain intact, and the lamp is structurally sound and operational.
