Floor lamp

This rare floor lamp, produced in Sweden during the 1960s, embodies the sculptural elegance and functional simplicity characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian lighting design. The lamp features a black lacquered metal base with brass accents, forming two slender, curved rods that intersect in an X-shaped configuration. This design provides both stability and a sense of visual lightness. The upper section supports an elongated, oval-shaped lampshade crafted from finely pleated material, which remains in its original condition.

The warm-toned pleated shade diffuses light softly, creating an ambient glow that enhances the lamp’s sculptural form. A small looped handle at the top adds a practical detail, allowing for easy adjustment of the shade’s position. The combination of organic curves and geometric structure reflects the era’s emphasis on minimal ornamentation and balanced forms.

Materials and design choices in this lamp align with mid-century Scandinavian ideals, prioritizing warm, indirect lighting and natural textures. The lamp’s overall aesthetic is both refined and inviting, suitable for a variety of interior settings.

The lamp is preserved in vintage condition, showing natural signs of age on the lacquered metal and brass elements. The original pleated shade has been well-maintained, retaining its delicate texture with only minor wear consistent with its period.

Its dimensions are approximately 23 centimeters in diameter and 125 centimeters in height, or 9 by 49.2 inches, providing a slender yet impactful presence.
