Harald Notini ceiling lamp

This rare height-adjustable ceiling lamp, model 11827, designed by Harald Notini and produced by Böhlmarks in Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies classic Scandinavian mid-century lighting design. The lamp combines brass and oak in its construction and features a functional counterweight pulley mechanism that allows for smooth and precise height adjustment—an elegant solution reflecting the era’s emphasis on adaptability and user-centric design.

The shade is crafted from the original pleated fabric, softening and diffusing the light evenly while adding a refined linear texture that complements the lamp’s understated sophistication. A brass finial at the bottom serves as both a decorative accent and a practical handle for adjusting the height. The fixture is suspended from a conical brass ceiling canopy that integrates cleanly with the adjustable mechanism.

Harald Notini was a noted Swedish designer recognized for balancing form and function in his lighting and furniture designs. His collaboration with Böhlmarks, a leading Swedish lighting manufacturer known for quality and craftsmanship, resulted in fixtures that marry modernist principles with timeless elegance.

The lamp measures 80 cm (31.5 inches) in width, 27 cm (10.6 inches) in depth, and offers an adjustable height range from 78 cm (30.7 inches) to 120 cm (47.2 inches). It is in good vintage condition, showing natural brass patina and minor wear on the original fabric shade, consistent with its age and use.
