Original Erik Gunnar Asplund 'Parachute' Ceiling Lamp in Glass and Steel, 1950s
About the Item
Original ceiling lamp (model '6022' / 'Parachute'), designed by Erik Gunnar Asplund in the 1920s. Produced by Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in 1958-59. Made from green-lacquered metal, shade in matte opal glass.
Rare to come to market, this exceptional suspension lamp was designed by renowned Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund (1885–1940) in the 1920s and produced by Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in 1958-59. Suspended by three green-lacquered steel chains, its large matte opal glass shade evokes the form of a parachute, hence its name. A remarkable example of Asplund’s design sensibility, this lamp is not only a striking piece of 20th-century Swedish craftsmanship but also a coveted collector’s item.

Erik Gunnar Asplund, “GA9” Wall Lights for ASEA, Sweden 1940s
By Hans Bergström, ASEA, Lisa Johansson-Pape, Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Munster, NRW
With its organically shaped blown glass shade, especially rare in this opaline frosted glass version, the GA9 resembles a floating droplet. Designed by Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund, widely regarded as the godfather of Swedish modernism, this lamp embodies his signature geometric clarity and structural ingenuity. Like his Stockholm City Library, it balances simplicity with innovation.
A bent arm holds the glass, while another secures the light source at the luminaire’s center. The black lacquered metal curves organically, contrasting with polygonal backplates—an interplay of geometry and fluidity that defines Asplund’s vision. The large, mushroom-like shades diffuse light in a soft, mesmerizing glow, enhancing the atmosphere beyond mere functionality.
Asplund’s influence extended to Scandinavian design icons such as Alvar Aalto, Erik Bryggman...
