Information

This rare height-adjustable floor lamp, model G2326, was designed by Josef Frank and produced by Svenskt Tenn in Sweden during the 1950s. It exemplifies Frank’s hallmark Scandinavian modernism, combining functional adaptability with timeless elegance. Crafted from solid brass, the lamp features a gracefully curved tripod base that ensures both stability and a sense of visual lightness.

The original pleated fabric shade remains intact, diffusing light softly to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The brass structure incorporates an adjustable height mechanism, allowing the lamp to extend from 125 cm to 180 cm (49.2 to 70.9 inches), offering versatile use across various interior settings. Over time, the brass has developed a natural patina that enhances its vintage character.

Josef Frank, a key figure in 20th-century Scandinavian design, is renowned for his humanistic blend of classical influences and modernist ideals. His lighting designs for Svenskt Tenn are celebrated for their meticulous detailing and practical sophistication.

The lamp is in good vintage condition, showing wear consistent with its age and use. It measures 40 cm in diameter, with an adjustable height range of 125 to 180 cm (15.7 x 49.2–70.9 inches).
