Wall lamp
This rare Brutalist wall lamp, produced in Sweden during the 1960s, embodies the bold and expressive design elements characteristic of the mid-century period. While the designer remains unknown, the lamp serves as a notable example of Scandinavian modern lighting, reflecting a more experimental aesthetic that was common during the Brutalist movement.
The lamp is constructed primarily from patinated copper, which gives it a raw and textured appearance. The design features an intricate lattice structure made of rectangular copper segments arranged in a staggered, overlapping pattern. This unique composition creates a striking interplay of light and shadows when the lamp is illuminated, highlighting the Brutalist style’s emphasis on bold forms and raw materials. The lamp’s underlying structure also incorporates frosted glass panels, which soften and diffuse the light, contributing to a warm, atmospheric illumination.
Despite its age, the lamp remains in good original vintage condition, with the copper showing a natural patina and minor signs of wear, which are consistent with its history and only enhance its visual appeal. These age-related characteristics add to its authenticity and charm, making it a truly unique piece.
The dimensions of the lamp are 21 cm in width (8.3 inches), 15.5 cm in depth (6.1 inches), and 28 cm in height (11 inches), making it an impactful and sculptural addition to any interior, providing both light and artistic expression.
