Brass Floor Lamp with Adjustable Gooseneck for Bergboms, Sweden 1940s

Creator: Bergboms
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Swedish Modern, with its simplified lines and lack of excessive ornamentation, was a counter reaction to the earlier, more decorative design movements such as Art Deco. In comparison, as this floor lamp demonstrates, the mid-century era brought streamlined modernism to Sweden as well.

This model was created by the Swedish firm Bergboms during the golden age of Scandinavian lighting design. The design is characterized by its unique form and stylish materials: the body is composed of a beautiful, patinated brass structure, which is complemented by a light-coloured fabric shade. The choice of materials and shape of the design truly bring the aesthetic of modernism, and this piece will undoubtedly add an aura of luxury to any interior.

The head is adjustable at the neck, making this lamp perfect spotlight lighting, and the square base provides good stability and a modern touch. In line with the trend of the time, the designer abandoned ornamentation in favour of form. Nonetheless, the warmth and beauty inherent in Swedish design is maintained, as well as the expected high-quality craftsmanship.

The maker of this lamp, Bergboms, was a prominent Swedish lighting firm which manufactured both its own designs and those of international designers such as Bernard Schottlander and Greta Magnusson-Grossman. Bergboms was founded by Efraim Ljung, who also founded Ljungs industrier (subsequently DUX).
