Floor lamp

This floor lamp was produced in Sweden during the 1950s and exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century modern design principles, emphasizing functionality and minimalist aesthetics. The lamp combines black lacquered metal, brass, and white acrylic, creating a balanced contrast between materials. Its cast metal base features a black lacquered finish, providing stability along with a subtle sculptural quality. Rising from the base is a slender metal stem that transitions into a flexible brass gooseneck, allowing the light source to be adjusted as needed.

The shade is made from white ribbed acrylic, molded into a conical shape with an asymmetrical opening designed to direct light downward. This material diffuses light softly, reducing glare while ensuring effective illumination. Brass fittings secure the connection points between the shade and gooseneck, adding a refined industrial detail.

Though the designer is unknown, the lamp reflects the mid-century Scandinavian focus on simplicity, quality materials, and practical construction. Its adjustable design made it well-suited for reading or task lighting, adaptable to various interior settings.

The lamp measures 130 cm in height, with a width of 18 cm and depth of 36 cm (51.2 x 7.1 x 14.2 inches). It shows minor signs of wear consistent with its age, including some surface wear on the lacquered metal and natural oxidation on the brass components. The acrylic shade remains intact, displaying typical vintage surface patina.
