Ceiling lighting has been used as a decorative focal point for rooms since the 20th century. In Scandinavian mid-century design, where interior lighting is of particular importance, designers managed to master the art of soft light without blinding or crushing space perception.

This lamp features soft ornamentation and unique, modern curves created from a traditional Swedish aesthetic and with high level of craftsmanship. The brass structure is expertly shaped to serve as a clean canvas for the floral ornamentation and the glass shades to stand out. The mid-century modern style brought about organic decorative shapes in Sweden, which can be seen in the floral shaped shade holders and cluster. These elements, despite being simple and understated, still catch the eyes, showing the design skill of the creator. In a characteristically Scandinavian manner, the brass body is paired with glass shades. The three brass arms are identical and symmetrical holding white shades that are completely opaque, highlighting their ribbed surface. When lit, they create an ambient look and highlight the shape and the peculiar angle of the shades. Like most Swedish light fixtures of the era, the overall aesthetic assumes a more minimalist design that does not contain prisms and illuminates a room with direct light from the glass shades.

The subtle decorative qualities stemming from the early 20th century art movements and the simple lines deriving from the inter-war art movements give this ceiling lamp its elegance. The lovely glass shades, floral ornamentation, and elegant flowing lines of the brass embody Swedish mid-century lighting design.
