About the Item

A functionalist pendant light fixture produced by the Swedish manufacturer ASEA in the 1940s, attributed to the architect Gunnar Asplund. The softly shaped shade is crafted from opal glass and is held in place by a chrome metal fixture. ASEA, the Swedish electrical company, was established as early as 1883, specializing in the production of electrical lights and generators. By the late 1940s, ASEA had acquired several rival companies, solidifying its position as one of Sweden's premier manufacturers of light fixtures. ASEA's Stockholm drawing office was responsible for the development of numerous modernist lamps, designed for both public spaces and domestic applications. The company collaborated with several renowned designers, including Hans Bergström and Uno Kristiansson, over the years.
