Gunnar Asplund GA15 Wall Light Mouthblown Opaque Glass, Designed in 1930´s
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Värnamo, SE
GA15 is a classical globe luminaire, save for the fact that it is a wall luminaire. The fitting consists of a mouthblown, three layered
opaque glass attached to a bent steelrod which grows out from the wall.
The quality of the glass in collaboration with the centered light source creates a uniform, general and diffuse illumination, regardless of what light source is chosen.
The timeless design, versatility and the diffused and symmetrical light ensures that GA15 illuminates surfaces in a comfortable way.

Gunnar Asplund GA9 Wall Light Mouthblown Opaque Glass, Designed in 1930´s
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Värnamo, SE
GA9 appears to be inspired by a droplet, floating upward the wall.
The mouthblown glass with bubbles creates an intricate play between light and shadow, giving the appearance of light traveling through water.
A bent arm holds the glass in place, with yet another arm holding the lightsource in the center of the luminaire.

Gunnar Asplund GA7 Pendant Lamp Mouthblown Opaque Glass, Designed in 1930´s
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Värnamo, SE
GA7 is a classical globe luminaire and consists of a mouthblown, three layered opaque glass.
Originally designed to enlighten the corridors of the basement at the Woodland Cemetary.
The frosted glass in collaboration with the centered light source creates a uniform, general and diffuse light, but with an opening in the glass to also create a direct lightdistribution.
GA7 is manufactured as a fixed luminaire, but can also be hanged from cable.
Details in either brass or coated.
Erik Gunnar Asplund.
Erik Gunnar Asplund (22 September 1885 – 20 October 1940) was a Swedish architect, mostly known as a key representative of Nordic Classicism of the 1920s, and during the last decade of his life as a major proponent of the modernist style which made its breakthrough in Sweden at the Stockholm International Exhibition (1930).
Among Asplund's most important works is the Stockholm Public Library, constructed between 1924 and 1928, which stands as the prototypical example of the Nordic Classicism and so-called Swedish Grace movement. It was particularly influential on the proposal submitted for the competition for the design of the Viipuri Library in 1927 by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, who regarded Asplund as his mentor.
Another important work is the extension of the Gothenburg Courthouse Extension building which Asplund started on 1913 and finished 1937 - it shows his transformation from neo-classical to functionalist architect, a transformation in parallel with other European modernists like Erich Mendelsohn.

Gunnar Asplund GA6 Table Lamp, Designed in 1930's
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Värnamo, SE
GA6 is the luminaire that has a very noble expression, where the combination of brass, mahogany and the structure of the textile hints at Gunnar Asplunds’ famous eye for details.
The hardwood together with the polished brass creates a lasting expression, while the structure of the variable textile keeps challenging and draw the gaze to itself.
The luminaire was originally created around the lightbulb and will continue to be manufactured around omnidirectional light sources.
Mahogany in FSC certified material.

Gunnar Asplund GA5 Table Lamp, Designed in 1930´s
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Värnamo, SE
GA5 is just like GA4 a well-balanced luminaire.
Adjustable both at the base as well as at the shade in order to offer the user the possibility to adjust the light after the current situation.
The luminaire consist of a spun aluminum shade, cut in an angle in order to follow the surface of the desk, and a bent steel tube.
As in the case of GA4 the soft radiuses and the angle of the cut creates a distinct expression.

Rare & Large Shape Venetian Murano Pendant Light Mouthblown Amber Glass in Frame
Located in Lisse, NL
Large, powder colored and great condition Venetian light fixture.
This Midcentury Venetian pendant is not only the largest of it's kind we ever had the pleasure of offering, it also is in exceptional condition. We have completely rewired it for safe and immediate usage in the US as well and we also have cleaned all the mouth blown glass both inside and out. The truly thick and amber colored glass is perfectly and symmetrically blown into the hand-knotted metal frame and the result is an absolute joy to look at. The amber color, is not transparent. This, what we call, rustic style pendant is hand-crafted in the exact same way and it has the same design as others, but in the proces something was done to the glass which has created a non-transparent, almost sugar coated surface. It is truly beautiful and other than with the transparent ones, it does not throw shade patterns on your walls and ceiling. It actually makes this stylish Venetian rarity much 'calmer' and atmospheric.

Large Opaline Glass and Brass Wall Lamps by Erik Gunnar Asplund, Sweden 1940s
By Erik Gunnar Asplund, ASEA
Located in Utrecht, NL
In the annals of mid-century modern design, the Swedish designer and architect, Gunnar Asplund stood out as a luminary, and his delicately sculptural creations, such as this pair of wall lamps from the 1950s, epitomize the era's sophistication and functional beauty. Swedish architect and designer, Erik Gunnar Asplund is celebrated as the godfather of functionalist design in Sweden. Asplund's meticulous attention to detail and penchant for marrying form with function is evident in these wall lamps, combining materials just as ingeniously as forms and shapes.
Crafted in the 1950s, these wall lamps feature circular brass mounts that gracefully extend two brass arms, holding both the light bulbs and the large, sculptural opaline glass diffusers. The geometric precision of the design reflects Asplund's architectural background, where clean lines and balanced proportions reign supreme. The lamps serve as great examples of the enduring quality of mid-century Swedish craftsmanship. Swedish mid-century modern design, marked by its emphasis on simplicity and functionality, sought to bring beauty into everyday life. Asplund's pieces encapsulate this ethos, transcending mere utilitarianism to become objets d'art that enhance living spaces. Manufactured by ASEA, a Swedish powerhouse in electrical engineering and industrial design, these lamps embody the marriage of aesthetics and utility. ASEA, founded in 1883, played a pivotal role in shaping Sweden's industrial landscape. Their foray into lighting design seamlessly blended technological innovation with artistic sensibility, making them a prominent player in the mid-century modern movement. The choice of brass and opaline glass as primary materials in these lamps speaks to the enduring appeal of this combination in mid-century modern lighting design. Brass, with its warm and timeless lustre, complements the opulence of mid-century interiors, while opaline glass diffusers disperse light with a soft, ethereal glow. This harmonious pairing endures as a hallmark of sophistication, blending seamlessly into contemporary design aesthetics.
Swedish lighting design, deeply rooted in the country's commitment to quality craftsmanship and functional elegance, continues to influence global trends. The enduring popularity of mid-century modern design, exemplified by these Erik Gunnar Asplund lamps...
