Model “8596” Brass Wall Lamp by Harald Notini for Böhlmarks, Sweden 1950s

About the Item

Between the 1920s and 1950s, Böhlmarks was a significant player in the Swedish design movement. Harald Notini, after becoming creative director in 1916, drove the company forward, producing what were considered pioneering and distinctive luminaires for the time. With an unmistakeable design, this model ‘8596’ wall sconce belongs to a historic collection of luminaires from a golden era. At Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, the 1940s and 50s represented a period marked by undulating forms and organic material choices in a fundamental Swedish Modern manner. Consequently, the shape and material of the shade determines the overall aesthetic of this lamp. The design encapsulates a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, casting a gentle glow that will be sure to enhance the ambiance of any space. The 1950s was a period of renewal, prosperity, and optimism following the world wars. This resulted in lighting designers seeking to create pieces that embodied the spirit of the age, reflecting the fast-paced and industrialised world. The most distinctive design element of this model is the large white lacquered metal reflector that is in a folded shape. This ingenious addition not only provides a clean backdrop against which the front brass structure stands out, but also reflects the light to create a cosy effect. It also serves as a back-plate, therefore the lamp appears as if it were not fixed to the wall. The front brass plate also features a subtle decorative element; a perforated floral design. The brass exudes warmth and elegance, contrasting beautifully with the off-white metal. The composition of the piece with its soft shapes and clever decorative elements give this wall lamp a stylish look that is guaranteed to set the tone of its interior. The sleek lines create a perfect balance between the ornamented features of the early 20th century, and the later phase of mid-century modernism with its more minimal, simplified lines.
