Gunnar Ander

Swedish, 1908 - 1976
Gunnar Ander (1927-2002) was a Swedish industrial designer, best known for his work with the lighting company, Ystad Metall. Ander was born in Helsingborg, Sweden and studied at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm.
 
Ander began working for Ystad Metall in the 1950s, where he quickly became the company's chief designer. His designs for Ystad Metall were characterized by a clean, functionalist aesthetic, with a focus on simple geometric shapes and high-quality materials.
 
Some of Ander's most notable designs for Ystad Metall include the "Trombone" lamp (1959), the "Boomerang" lamp (1964), and the "Luna" lamp (1963), all of which are considered design classics. Ander's work with Ystad Metall helped to establish the company as one of Sweden's leading lighting manufacturers in the mid-twentieth century.
 
In addition to his work with Ystad Metall, Ander also designed furniture, glassware, and other products for companies such as Svenskt Tenn, Boda Nova, and Gense. He was awarded the Swedish Royal Medal for Merit in 1987 in recognition of his contributions to Swedish design.
