Scandinavian mid-century design focuses on bridging the simplicity of minimalism, and the neutral tones of modern style, with the necessities of functionalism. In Scandinavian mid-century design, where interior lighting is of particular importance, designers managed to master the art of light while valuing eye comfort and maintaining both space perception and ambiance.
This pair of table lamps does justice to the Scandinavian mid-century design ethos through their sleek silhouette, geometric shapes, and innovative use of materials. The cylindrical glass body of the lamps enhances the look of the design’s clean lines and shapes. Setting these lamps apart are their translucent bodies, offering a unique look and feel to the pieces. The amber-coloured glass, mixed with the brass accents, create extraordinary pieces, whether the lamps are on or off. The black twisted cable, visible through the translucent glass, creates an almost floating effect, like a candle wick through honey-golden wax. The off-white shade complements the warmth of the lamp’s base, while the shade’s fabric accentuates the cosy feel of the piece.
Scandinavian mid-century lighting is a testament to the enduring power of design that speaks to both functionality and artistic expression. Classic glass and brass models - like this pair - never truly go out of style and have the power to elevate any space, through their welcoming charm and elegance.
