Stig Lindberg table lamp
This rare table lamp, designed by Stig Lindberg and produced by Gustavsberg in Sweden during the 1950s, showcases the designer’s distinctive blend of organic form and decorative texture. The ceramic base features a sculptural, bottle-shaped silhouette that tapers gracefully toward the neck. Its surface is coated in a deep brown glaze with a subtle gradient, enriched by a grid-like pattern of raised square motifs in a contrasting greenish-yellow tone. This combination of color and texture highlights Lindberg’s playful approach to ceramics.
The lamp is complemented by its original fabric lampshade, which harmonizes with the warm tones of the ceramic body and diffuses light softly, creating an inviting ambient glow. Stig Lindberg was a seminal figure in Swedish design, widely celebrated for his work across ceramics, textiles, and industrial design. His contributions to Gustavsberg included distinctive pieces that merged functional form with artistic expression, often produced in limited quantities and now highly collectible.
The ceramic base is well preserved, showing only minor signs of age while maintaining the vibrancy of its glaze and the intricacy of its surface details. The original lampshade is also intact and in good condition. The lamp measures 23 cm in diameter and 45 cm in height (9.1 x 17.7 inches), representing a refined example of mid-century Scandinavian design and craftsmanship.
