‎Created by a master designer and characterized by clean lines, soft edges and intuitive functionality, the Swedish Modern lighting models of the partnership between Hans Bergström and ASEA, are eternally timeless and timely.

The beauty of this stylish lamp lays in the combination of materials, including the accent wooden neck, the brass elements and the scalloped edged shade. The pairing of brass and wood creates an interesting visual effect, where the organic and traditional look of the wood meets the modern look of brass. Swedish lighting manufacturers, like ASEA, were masters of creating designs with great textural variety - as this lovely table lamp shows. The brass elements tie the materials together in a design that is indeed innovative and modern, yet still fresh to the contemporary eye. The beautiful colour and textures of the materials are further emphasized when the light is turned on by the switch on the base. Bergström was guided by the mantra, “Light must be white and shine freely,” and it truly shows in this model “E1240” lamp. This elegant lamp casts an atmospheric light and thus contributes to the warmth of an interior but also fits perfectly on an elegant desk.

This lamp effortlessly shows off Bergström’s creativity that he always paired with structural precision and material quality. Hans Bergström had a modernist approach based on quality and attention to detail, and was the favourite lighting designer of many fellow architects, among them Bruno Mathsson.
