About the Item
Swedish Modern was style-forming and came about through determined aesthetic and social efforts to raise the standard of the Swedish home and to improve the taste for a better quality of design. This wall lamp reflects that goal through its visual and material quality.
This wall lamp features a distinctly rectangular silhouette, reflecting subtle Art Deco influences characterised by streamlined geometry and balanced proportions. The design speaks to a transitional period in Scandinavian lighting, where decorative flair gave way to cleaner, more structured forms without entirely abandoning elegance. Defined by clean lines and a seamless blend of materials, the lamp has a sleek brass base, a popular choice in the 1940s and ’50s. The brass adds elegance and sophistication, giving the piece a refined, polished look. The most distinctive element is the large white lacquered metal reflector that curved slightly inward. This ingenious addition provides a clean backdrop against which the front brass structure stands out, while also reflecting 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.
Wall lamps are a timeless type of lighting fixture that can easily elevate their surroundings. This Swedish modern piece is a beautiful representation of the quality craftsmanship that emerged in Sweden in the mid-20th century. Whether placed in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, it is sure to add an elegant touch.
