Copper Table Lamp for Svensk Metallkonst AB, Sweden Early 20th century (sold)
Lighting is a highlight of Swedish design, ranging from the warm, low light of a candle to the soft yet bright glow of a table lamp. This lamp is a delightfully distinctive model, with immediately recognizable details. Design in the mid-century years was fueled by the development of materials and technology with stunning results, as seen in this table lamp design.
While this shape seems to be quite common, this table lamp offers plenty that distinguishes it aesthetically. First and foremost, the copper body that showcases it’s decorative elements. Furthermore, like many of the century’s designs, this table lamp masterfully pairs materials and textures, resulting in an essentially mid-century modern look.
The off-white fabric is an interesting material match with the copper, just like the shape. Instead of creating tension, the contrasting shapes and materials bring the design into perfect balance thanks to the understated, but unique material choices. This lamp is as captivating from afar as it is up close.
