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

About the Item

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). Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The shade is a later replacement .

    By Belysning
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    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 midcentury era brought streamlined modernism to Sweden as well. This model was created by the Swedish firm, ÖIA during the golden age of Scandinavian lighting design. The design is characterized by its simplified forms, and stylishly contrasting materials. The body is composed of a beautiful, patinated brass structure with the lower part of the tube wrapped in leather. The round, brass column frames the leather thus highlighting the beautiful handiwork. The contrasting materials are the main appeal of this model and bring the aesthetic into modernism. The shade has a Classic shape that is ideal to direct the light, with a beautiful brass colour and a decorative ring. The head is adjustable thanks to the OMI made joints at the neck, making this lamp perfect spotlight lighting. The OMI company (Otto Meinzer GmbH & Co Metallwarenfabrik from Iserlohn in Germany) was a manufacturer of chromed brass joints for the European and the USA lighting...
