Pendant lamp by Alf Svensson for Bergboms, Sweden, 1950s

About the Item

Pendant lamp designed by Alf Svensson for the renowned Swedish manufacturer Bergboms in 1953. This exquisite design features minimalist aesthetics with three clock-shaped opaline glass shades interconnected by a metal wire star. It is complemented by a white metal canopy. The company Bergbom & Co was established in 1940 by the Swedish chocolate magnate Efraim Ljung, initially focusing on the production of ice cream machines. However, their manufacturing scope quickly expanded to include various lighting fixtures. Efraim Ljung was already deeply engaged in the Swedish design scene, as he was the founder of the renowned furniture manufacturer DUX and a prominent figure in the sales organization Bra Bohag. As a result, Bergboms lamps began making appearances in catalogs and magazines, often featured alongside iconic furniture pieces designed by Sweden's top designers. Today, Bergboms is perhaps best recognized for their version of the Greta Magnusson Grossman Grasshopper floor lamp.
