This pair of pendant lamps designed for Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in the 1950s, exemplifies the elegance and clarity of mid-century Swedish lighting design. Böhlmarks, one of Sweden’s most renowned lighting manufacturers, was celebrated for its collaborations with leading designers of the time, producing works that blended refined craftsmanship with a distinctly modern aesthetic.

These pendants embody the ethos of uniting simple geometry with quality materials to achieve both timelessness and functionality. Each lamp features a rounded opaline glass shade, softly diffusing light to create a warm and ambient glow. The spherical form is gently tapered at the base, introducing subtle variation that enhances its sculptural presence. Suspended from a brass rod and canopy, the lamps achieve a balanced interplay between the cool, milky translucence of the glass and the golden warmth of the metal. The brass elements, with their patinated surface, ground the design in mid-century authenticity, showcasing the era’s love for the material. The proportions are carefully considered, while maintaining a minimal, honest silhouette.

As a pair, these pendants highlight the Swedish mid-century approach of prioritising both function and atmosphere. Their quiet modernism and thoughtful craftsmanship make them enduring examples of Böhlmarks’ legacy. Today, they remain as relevant in contemporary interiors as when they were first produced, embodying the Scandinavian principle that lighting should be both practical and beautiful.
