Stig Lindberg Stoneware Table Lamp with Fabric Shade, Sweden 1960s

About the Item

Stig Lindberg was a Swedish ceramic designer, glass, textile and industrial designer, a painter, and an illustrator. He is considered one of Sweden's most important postwar designers. Lindberg created whimsical studio ceramics and artistic pieces such as this table lamp during a long career with the Gustavsberg pottery factory. Stig Lindberg remains very well-known for his constant creativity and exceptional eye for shapes, proportions, and patterns, evident in this lamp model. He worked for the Gustavsberg factory between 1937-1980. Ushering in an uncomplicated approach to decoration that would come to define Swedish design for years to come, it seems inevitable in retrospect that he would be a success. This table lamp has an essentially Swedish aesthetic defined by its typical relief pattern on the stoneware body complemented by the light fabric drum shade. With a combination of interesting material choices and design, this lamp has an innovative, modern look that is just as much a work of art as it is a utilitarian piece. The body narrows towards the top like a bottle, creating the traditional look. The lampshade’s drum shape contributes to this look as well, while it also balances out the thick, dark stoneware body. The fabric of the shade is quite textural with an elegant and stylish look that stands out even more when the lamp is lit. Combined with the dark body, the design offers a variety of points of visual interest. However, without a question, it is the relief pattern composed of small swirls that draw the eyes the most. The pattern covers both the front and the back and has a lighter colour to accentuate the swirls. While this shape of table lamp is fairly common, Stig Lindberg managed to make this lamp anything but common, which shows both his design savvy and craftsmanship. Pioneering and folksy, Renaissance man and designer extraordinaire; there are countless ways to describe Stig Lindberg. Above all, he was one of the designers who put colour and form to mid-century Sweden. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The lampshade is a later replacement.
