About the Item

A striking Scandinavian Space Age table lamp in brushed aluminum, crafted in Sweden during the 1960s. The design features a clean cylindrical upper shade balanced over a banded midsection of horizontal discs, which function as a layered diffuser. When illuminated, the lamp casts a warm ambient glow through the vented structure, highlighting the interplay of metal and light. The first photo shows the lamp fitted with a standard bulb, while the remaining images present it with a half chrome (silver bowl) bulb, which reflects light upward into the shade while reducing glare. The use of this mirrored bulb creates a softer, more atmospheric glow and emphasizes the layered diffuser design. The minimalist industrial form reflects the influence of Hans-Agne Jakobsson and other leading Swedish lighting designers of the period, known for their inventive use of aluminum and futuristic silhouettes. Compact in scale yet sculptural in presence, this lamp works beautifully as a desk light, bedside table piece, or accent on a credenza. This lamp embodies the precision and elegance of mid-century Scandinavian design and stands as both a practical source of light and a collectible object of modernist design history.
