Falkenbergs Belysning Floor Lamp with Adjustable Shade, Sweden 1950s
About the Item
This rare floor lamp model possesses one of the most recognizable and unique designs in the prestigious repertoire of Falkenbergs Belysning’s 20th century lighting models’ catalogue. Its signature appearance is based on the circular base and the open shade.
Lithe, charismatic and distinctly modern, this lamp demonstrates Swedish mid-century designers’ keen eye for and mastery of quiet drama. Easy to incorporate into any space with its graceful, slender shape, this floor lamp boasts a split, black lacquered lamp rod on a ring shaped base. The whole body leans forward resulting in a dynamic impression. Additionally, the lampshade can be adjusted in its direction by the metal stick, allowing the light to be focused. The elongated shade has a distinctive curved design that is open in the bottom, showing off the warm light. The black exterior and a white interior of the shade is designed to better reflect light. To balance the light, paper-like look, the socket is more robust, made entirely of brass. The brass accents bring the colour scheme into mid-century modernism, while leaving the main role to the black lower structure and the shade. This lamp has many qualities that make it an ideal accent lamp, serving both a functional and a purely aesthetic role.
The Swedish company, Falkenbergs Belysning was an excellent manufacturer of various lighting designs, with some models exhibited in museums to this day. Kalmar Läns Museum is among the Swedish institutions where the manufacturer’s lamps and their history is exhibited as part of the country’s cultural design heritage.

Börje Claes Brass Floor Lamp with Adjustable Shade for Norlett Elit, Sweden 1960
By Börje Claes
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 mid-century era brought streamlined modernism to Sweden as well.
Börje Claes designed this lamp model with both table and floor lamp versions. In this floor lamp version he combined a classical shape with carefully thought out proportions and Swedish craftsmanship. The neck’s characteristic curve holding the brass shade defines this model. To counterbalance the defined curve, the rod is straight and stands on a circular base that mirrors the shape of the shade. The inside of the shade is reflective, enhancing the light the lamp emits with a beautiful accompanying effect. While there is a clear attention on the design elements, functionality was of equal importance in the classic “Svensk design” manner, in which form must follow function in order for something to be considered ‘good design’. As such, the lamp’s trumpet shade can be adjusted freely on the vertical axis through a so-called knee joint by the German company OMI. In line with the Functionalist 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 high-quality craftsmanship provided by Swedish manufacturer, Norlett Elit...
