Eje Ahlgren floor lamp
This rare floor lamp, model G-125, was designed by Eje Ahlgren and produced by Bergboms in Sweden during the 1970s. The lamp is crafted entirely from brass and features a distinctive, sculptural shade composed of two overlapping dome-like elements. The reflective surface of the shade enhances the lamp’s presence, creating a warm and diffuse light that adds to the ambiance of any room. The design reflects Ahlgren’s focus on geometric clarity and refined materials, which are hallmarks of Scandinavian modern lighting.
Eje Ahlgren was a significant figure in mid-century Scandinavian design, contributing to the evolution of modern lighting with a focus on geometric forms and the intelligent use of materials. Bergboms, renowned for its high-quality craftsmanship, produced a range of innovative lighting pieces during this period, including this floor lamp, which remains a timeless example of the era’s aesthetic.
The lamp is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age-related wear. The brass has developed a natural patina, and small surface marks are present, consistent with its age and use. These subtle imperfections only enhance the lamp’s character, adding to its vintage appeal.
The dimensions of the lamp are 38 cm (15 inches) in diameter and 135 cm (53 inches) in height, making it a tall and elegant piece that can act as a striking focal point in larger spaces. The combination of sculptural form and warm light diffusion makes it both functional and decorative.
