Hans Bergström ceiling lamps
The Struten pendant lamp, designed by Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden, during the 1950s, is a notable example of Scandinavian mid-century modern lighting design. The lamp features a shade made from white acrylic, molded into a conical form with a sculptural presence. Its slightly flared base promotes even light distribution, while subtle vertical ridges provide both structural reinforcement and aesthetic detail.
The fixture is suspended from a textile-covered cord and includes a teak suspension element, a signature detail in Bergström’s designs. This wooden accent introduces warmth and organic contrast to the minimalist acrylic shade, reflecting Bergström’s approach of integrating natural materials with innovative lighting solutions.
Hans Bergström, co-founder of Ateljé Lyktan in 1934, was instrumental in advancing Swedish lighting design by emphasizing functionality and craftsmanship. Ateljé Lyktan became a leading manufacturer known for combining traditional quality with modern materials and design principles.
This large-sized Struten lamp aligns with Scandinavian modernism’s focus on simplicity, natural elements, and efficient illumination. It is designed to emit a soft, diffused glow while maintaining a commanding sculptural form.
The lamp measures 26 cm (10.2 inches) in diameter and 60 cm (23.6 inches) in height. It remains in good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with its age.
