Information

This rare height-adjustable floor lamp, model 547, designed by Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden during the 1940s, is an exquisite example of Scandinavian modern design that seamlessly combines refined craftsmanship with functional elegance.

The lamp features a gracefully tapered mahogany stem, beautifully contrasted by brass fittings that highlight the warm wood grain alongside the rich golden metallic accents. The height adjustment mechanism is ingeniously integrated via a brass collar, allowing smooth and precise modification of the lamp’s height to suit different lighting needs.

The base consists of three slender brass legs extending outward from a rounded mahogany joint, each ending with a wooden foot. This design not only ensures stability but also contributes to the lamp’s visually light and balanced appearance. The original brass lamp holder remains intact and is marked with decorative perforations, adding to the piece’s authenticity.

A newly fitted pleated lampshade complements the original design perfectly, softly diffusing light to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. When illuminated, the lamp emphasizes its sculptural form, casting a gentle glow that enhances any interior space.

This lamp stands as a distinguished example of mid-century Swedish lighting, where form meets function with understated sophistication.

Dimensions measure 22.5 cm in width, 55 cm in depth, with height adjustable from 116 cm to 142 cm (8.9 x 21.7 inches; height 45.7 to 55.9 inches).
