Information

This rare height-adjustable floor lamp, produced in Sweden during the 1950s, is a striking example of Scandinavian modern design. Its elegant, minimalist structure exemplifies the refined simplicity and craftsmanship characteristic of the period. The lamp is crafted from brass, which has developed a warm, aged patina over time, contributing to the piece’s vintage charm and character.

The design features dual stems that rise from a solid, rounded brass base, curving outward into sinuous, organic lines. This creates a sculptural presence that makes the lamp as much a decorative object as a functional light source. The sinuous lines of the stems contribute to its graceful aesthetic, providing an appealing contrast to the more solid and grounded base.

Each arm of the lamp supports a newly replaced conical lampshade, which is mounted on adjustable brass fittings. These fittings allow the direction of light to be modified, offering versatility for different lighting needs, such as reading, ambient lighting, or highlighting particular areas of a room. The height of the lamp is also adjustable, making it suitable for various interior settings and uses, from providing focused task lighting to adding a stylish accent to the room.

The base of the lamp shows visible wear and patination, which adds to its authenticity and history. These signs of age reflect its use over decades, enhancing its vintage appeal and making it a unique piece with a story to tell. Despite the patina and signs of wear, the lamp remains a functional and striking design element for any modern interior.
