2 Beautiful Flygsfors table lamps

About the Item

Flygsfors Glass Factory Flygsfors Glasbruk was a glass factory in Flygsfors in Nybro municipality, founded in 1888 and closed in 1979. It was started in Flygsfors in 1863 as a hammer forge. With worse economic conditions for the small Småland ironworks, the Flygsfors glass factory was started in 1888. It was leased out in 1889 to mill owner C.A. Svensson and fabricator Janne Elgqvist, who soon bought the mill and before long Svensson became the sole owner. Svensson died in 1914, and in 1919 the mill was sold to be closed down in 1920. It was resurrected in 1930 when a new company under Gustav and Oskar Rosander took over the mill and got it back on its feet. During the first 30 years, only window glass was produced, but they later switched to lighting glass and decorative glass. Production has been great; in the 1950s, the mill was Europe's largest manufacturer of lighting glass and had approximately 200 employees. In 1965, the Flygsfors Group was formed with the Gadderås and Målerås glass mills and a total of approximately 300 employees. The mill was taken over in 1974 by Orrefors and closed down in 1979. In 1985, Elving Conradsson from Bergdala glassworks tried for a few months to breathe new life into the cabin, but the attempt failed. In 1992, operations in the mill premises were resumed again on a very small scale, and today multicolored art glass is made from crushed glass. Those particular table lamps are both light and elegant in its design. Relatively low weight compared to others due to its slim design. They are nevertheless very typical of the period and they are therefore easy to fit in. Sufficiently dominant and secure in its place in the room.
