Harald Notini table lamp
The table lamp model 15474, designed by Harald Notini and produced by Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and modernist principles characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian lighting. The lamp features a flared brass shade with a gently curved profile that softens its geometric form, harmonizing with the circular brass base to create a cohesive visual language. The brass elements have developed a natural patina over time, displaying surface marks and subtle discoloration typical of vintage brass.
Supporting the shade is a fluted mahogany stem that tapers elegantly towards the top. The wood’s rich tone and original finish provide a warm contrast to the metallic components, showcasing Notini’s skillful balance of materials. The underside of the lamp is marked with the model number and the manufacturer’s logo, confirming its authenticity.
Harald Notini was a prolific Swedish designer and the chief designer at Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, where his work combined precise metalwork with refined wood elements, reflecting the Scandinavian modernist emphasis on simplicity, function, and material integrity.
This lamp is in good vintage condition, exhibiting wear consistent with its age, including patina on the brass and minor surface marks on the mahogany stem. It accommodates two E27 bulbs and has been tested to ensure full functionality. The lamp’s dimensions and elegant proportions make it a versatile piece suited for various interior environments, embodying the timeless qualities of mid-century Scandinavian design.
