Table lamp
This rare table lamp, produced by Boréns in Sweden during the 1950s, is a prime example of mid-century Scandinavian modern design. Constructed from brass and leather, it combines high-quality materials with functional design, embodying the minimalist and elegant aesthetics typical of the period. The lamp features a domed brass shade with a perforated edge, allowing light to diffuse softly while also adding a decorative element to the overall form.
The central stem of the lamp is wrapped in leather, offering a tactile contrast to the polished brass components and enhancing the lamp’s visual appeal. The base, also made of brass, provides stability and contributes to the lamp’s cohesive, balanced design. Over time, the brass surfaces have developed a natural patina, which adds character and authenticity to the lamp, reflecting its age and the quality of materials used in its construction.
Boréns was a respected Swedish lighting manufacturer known for its well-crafted and durable lighting solutions. While the designer of this particular model remains unknown, the lamp showcases the era’s characteristic attention to detail and emphasis on both practicality and elegance.
The lamp’s dimensions are 36 cm (14.2 inches) in diameter and 44 cm (17.3 inches) in height, making it a striking and functional piece suitable for a variety of interior settings.
