Erik Wärnå ceiling lamps

This is a rare mid-century ceiling lamp designed by Erik Wärnå and produced by EWÅ in Värnamo, Sweden, during the 1960s. The fixture is composed of a polished brass frame with a two-tiered construction and ten spherical glass globes, arranged in a symmetrical, architectural composition that distributes light evenly across the space.

The brass structure is characterized by clean, cylindrical elements and crossbars that hold the glass shades, demonstrating Wärnå’s refined approach to geometry and proportion. The clear glass globes reveal the light sources, contributing to a striking visual effect both when the lamp is lit and unlit. The combination of brass and glass creates a sophisticated contrast, typical of Scandinavian modern design, emphasizing warmth, functionality, and material honesty.

Erik Wärnå’s lighting designs are known for their clarity and elegant structural logic, and pieces from EWÅ Värnamo are highly collectible due to their quality craftsmanship and limited production. This chandelier is a fine example of Swedish mid-century lighting design, suited for dining areas, living spaces, or public interiors.

Diameter 70 cm (27.6 inches), total height 320 cm (126 inches).
