Swedish Modern Brass and Carved Wood Table Lamp, Sweden 1950s (sold)
Swedish Modern Brass and Carved Wood Table Lamp, Sweden 1950s (sold)
Designers were consistently inspired by nature in their work during the mid-century era, which makes the subtle integration of natural materials a defining characteristic of the time. Like in so many other areas, Scandinavian designers excelled in creating many of the most well-known models of mid-century lighting design.
Characterized by clean lines, the elegant brass and wood stem, and intuitive functionality, this Swedish table lamp is beautiful and timeless. The pairing of brass and wood create an interesting visual effect, where the elegant and traditional look of the wood meets the modern aesthetic of the bright, polished brass.
Swedish lighting designers were masters of creating designs with great textural variety, as this table lamp shows. The brass shade directs the light downwards and prevents any glare, and the beauty of the colour and texture of the brass and wood body is emphasized even further when the light is turned on.
Thanks to the designer’s masterful sense of proportion, this model is perfectly balanced visually. Apart from the aesthetics, the quality of this table lamp is also true to its Scandinavian heritage. Adding illumination to a living space with this stylish table lamp will not only improve the ambience, it will also provide useful task lighting for those late nights.
