About the Item
Erik Tidstrand was a Swedish designer and interior architect who first worked at Leja and KM Lundberg until they merged to form Nordiska Kompaniet. Tidstrand became the head of NK's lighting department from its founding in 1902, until 1941. His luminaires received international attention and were showcased at several prestigious exhibitions, such as the world exhibitions in Paris in 1925 and 1937, Barcelona in 1929, as well as the Stockholm exhibition of 1930. NK’s lighting department quickly rose to become a pioneering company in Sweden, ushering in a new era of innovative designs and modern aesthetics.
Designers like Tidstrand were constantly inspired by nature in their work during the mid-century era, which makes the subtle integration of natural materials a defining characteristic of the time. Like in so many other areas, Scandinavian designers excelled in creating many of the most well-known models of mid-century lighting fixtures. Manufactured at Nordiska Kompaniet in the 1930s, this "30246" table lamp has an unmistakable Swedish look. From the clean lines of the patinated brass and walnut structure, to the soft edges of the lacquered brass shade, this model is sure to add an elegant touch to any interior. The craftsmanship speaks to the Scandinavian tradition of woodworking, which is highlighted in the vertical carvings of the stem. The body features brass details, anchoring the piece in a rounded brass base. Swedish lighting manufacturers were masters of designing with great textural variety, as this table lamp shows: the pairing of the smooth brass and ribbed walnut stem create an interesting visual effect, where the traditional look of the organic material meets the modern look of the brass. Crowning the lamp is a white lacquered metal shade, a bold yet balanced design choice that provides a touch of playfulness without it being overwhelming.
This effortless and elegant combination of materials speaks to the design prowess of Tidstrand. Characterised by clean lines, natural materials and intuitive functionality, Scandinavian modern design is eternally timeless and timely as this table lamp stunningly showcases.

Nordiska Kompaniet
Since its inception, luxury retailer Nordiska Kompaniet, known affectionately to its customers as “NK,” has offered an influential platform for innovators in furniture design. Its department stores in Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden, have been home to many of the top names in mid-century modern design and in Scandinavian modernism. Admired for its production of high-quality pieces, it continues to support forward-looking designers.
Nordiska Kompaniet was founded in 1902 through the merger of the companies K.M. Lundberg and Joseph Leja. Its founder, Josef Sachs, envisioned a department store as a cultural arena that would rival the luxury stores of Paris. He opened a flagship store in Stockholm in 1915. Early on, the brand set its sights on quality furniture making, bringing on master cabinetmaker Axel Einar Hjorth, who headed its production from 1927 to 1938.
The Stockholm Exhibition of 1930 was pivotal for both Nordiska Kompaniet and the world of design as a whole. NK’s installation, designed by Sven Markelius, positioned the artist as a key influencer and force majeure of Swedish functionalism.
Nordiska Kompaniet has continued to hire renowned designers throughout its operations, including such luminaries as Carl Bergsten, David Rosen and Gio Ponti. Many iconic sofas, lounge chairs, bookcases and dining room tables from the mid-century modern period originated in its furniture shop. The brand has also been at the forefront of textile, ceramic and wallpaper design, with artists Berndt Friberg, Josef Frank, Stig Lindberg and Elsa Gullberg among those who have contributed to NK’s brand legacy.
To cater to its growing customer base, Nordiska Kompaniet opened a second store in Gothenburg in 1971. Today, NK continues to provide patronage to top designers, remaining a leader in high-end furniture production.
