Information

These rare table lamps, model B-024, designed by Alf Svensson and Yngvar Sandström and produced by Bergboms in Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies Scandinavian modern design’s focus on functional elegance and material quality. The lamp’s base is crafted from brass, shaped into a flared, trumpet-like form that narrows into a slender stem. This structure supports the original Le Klint pleated lampshade, combining the warmth of metal with the soft, diffused glow produced by the folded paper.

Alf Svensson and Yngvar Sandström were notable figures in Swedish design, recognized for their dedication to craftsmanship and refined aesthetics within the Scandinavian modern movement. Bergboms, the manufacturer, was respected for its production of high-quality, contemporary lighting fixtures that balanced practicality with artistic expression.

The brass surface has developed a natural patina over time, adding depth and character to the material while emphasizing its vintage authenticity. The Le Klint shade, created using traditional pleating techniques, enhances the lamp’s sculptural presence and ensures an even diffusion of light. The lamp measures 55 cm in diameter and 68 cm in height (21.7 x 26.8 inches), making it a striking and well-preserved example of mid-century Swedish lighting design.
