Hans Bergström table lamp

This rare table lamp, model 712, designed by Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden, is a distinguished example of mid-20th-century Scandinavian modern lighting. The lamp features an elegant brass structure with a unique tilting and rotating mechanism that allows for versatile, adjustable illumination. Its spherical brass base provides a stable foundation, supporting a slender, angled arm that leads to a perforated brass socket housing. The shade, crafted from pleated natural fabric, diffuses light softly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Hans Bergström, one of Sweden’s most influential lighting designers, was celebrated for merging functionality with refined aesthetics. His collaboration with Ateljé Lyktan, a company he co-founded, exemplified the Scandinavian modern ethos of simple, organic forms paired with high-quality materials.

The lamp’s brass surfaces exhibit a natural patina, which enhances its vintage character and authenticity. Measuring 17 centimeters in width, 40 centimeters in depth, and 57 centimeters in height (6.7 x 15.7 x 22.4 inches), this piece offers both functional versatility and sculptural elegance.
