Austrian architect and designer Josef Frank has had an enormous impact on the history of Swedish design. Despite being nearly 50 years old when emigrating to Sweden, he is now widely recognised as one of the country’s most important designers of all time.
These adjustable floor lamps epitomize the harmonious blend of form and function that characterizes Scandinavian design. They feature a distinctive tripod base, which offers both stability and an elegant aesthetic. The legs of the tripod are sleek and gently tapered, exuding a sense of lightness to the overall design - typical of Frank’s approach to furniture - combining modernity with a timeless quality. The adjustable height of the lamps highlights their functional sophistication, allowing for versatile lighting options. The mechanism is seamlessly integrated, ensuring that the lamps maintain their minimalist and refined appearance. The lamps are crowned with traditional, sophisticated shades that diffuse light gently, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
The model '2326' design is a testament to Josef Frank’s legacy as a master of Swedish design, combining elegance, functionality, and durability. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these lamps reflect Josef Frank's commitment to creating pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical for everyday use.
