The beauty of Scandinavian design is found in its simplicity, functionality and warmth. The decorating principle of Scandinavian Modern mixes neutral colours, natural materials and varied textures to create a distinctive aesthetic characterised by a minimal, practical style. These creative choices fall perfectly in line with the design of a statement piece as essential and indisputably timeless as a standing light fixture.
The characteristic shape and simple, geometrical form of this Scandinavian Modern floor lamp are a masterful representation of the design movement's best qualities. This piece, while classic in its form, stands out through the use of brass - the ultimate material in design of the era when it comes to lighting fixtures - for the entirety of its base and body. The round, brass base connects to a straight, sleek stem, traveling to the top where a shallow drum shade rests on the lamp. The lamp’s arms hold three light bulbs on symmetrically arranged supports, which ensure its functionality and provide adequate brightness to a room. When taking a step back, one can truly appreciate the bright, eye-catching brass, shining through both whether the lamp is turned on or off. The honey-coloured metal has a beautiful patina, adding more charm with the passage of time. Through the manufacturer’s design choices, this piece celebrates both form and function.
This floor lamp exemplifies the modernism brought forth by the mid-century period to Scandinavia. By acting as the subtle accent needed in a room, this piece creates ambiance and a hospitable, welcoming feeling.
