Anders Pehrson ceiling lamps

This rare pair of ceiling lamps was designed by Anders Pehrson and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden, during the 1960s. The lamps exemplify the mid-century Scandinavian design ethos, combining functionalism with bold visual elements. Each lamp features a dome-shaped shade crafted from yellow plastic with a smooth, high-gloss finish, measuring 47 cm in diameter. The overall height, including the suspension, reaches 115 cm, giving the fixtures a commanding presence in an interior setting.

Structurally, the lamps are supported by brass components, including an internal frame and suspension rods. The brass provides both stability and an aesthetic contrast to the vibrant yellow shade, creating a balanced interplay between materials. The design follows a minimalist and practical approach characteristic of the period, with a semi-translucent lower diffuser that ensures even, soft light distribution. The open upper section allows light to project upwards, contributing to ambient illumination and spatial depth.

Anders Pehrson, who led Ateljé Lyktan from the 1960s, was influential in integrating industrial production techniques with Scandinavian craftsmanship. Ateljé Lyktan, established in 1934, is renowned for its innovative modernist lighting fixtures designed for both residential and public spaces. This particular model reflects Pehrson’s vision, combining durable materials with clean lines and functional design. The lamps remain in their original condition with minor wear consistent with their age, preserving their historical and aesthetic integrity.
