Uno & Östen Kristiansson floor lamp

This floor lamp was designed by Uno & Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden during the 1960s. The lamp combines brass, plastic, and fabric, reflecting the Scandinavian mid-century modern emphasis on both functionality and refined aesthetics. It features a slender brass stem rising from a circular brass base, supporting a large cylindrical shade made from finely woven fabric.

The fabric shade diffuses light softly and evenly, while an integrated plastic diffuser inside the shade ensures glare-free illumination. The lamp is operated via a pull switch located beneath the shade, a practical feature common in Scandinavian lighting designs from this era.

Uno & Östen Kristiansson were known for their clean, minimalist design language and use of high-quality materials. Luxus, their manufacturing partner, was a prominent Swedish lighting company recognized for producing modernist fixtures that balanced aesthetic appeal with practicality.

The lamp measures 139.5 cm in height, with a shade diameter of 38 cm (54.9 x 15 inches). The brass has developed a natural patina over time, while the fabric shade remains in good condition with minor signs of aging.
