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.

- Einar Johansen Stoneware Table Lamp for Søholm Stentøj Bornholm, Denmark 1960sBy Einar JohansenLocated in Utrecht, NLThis handmade 1960s table lamp was designed by the brilliant Danish artist, Einar Johansen, and produced by Søholm Stentøj (Søholm stoneware). The manufactory was one of the oldest and most revered names in Danish ceramics. It was founded in Rønne on the Baltic island of Bornholm in 1835, and produced ceramics until the factory closed in 1996. Johansen originally trained as a painter at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and that truly shows in his ceramic work as well. This table lamp has a beautiful ceramic body featuring a beautiful ceramic glaze in shades of white, brown, and blue, and a clear artistic touch. Two opposing sides feature a sculptural motif shaped like five fluted steps leading up to the neck. These showcase the colour variation and play of the glazed clay and provide plenty of visual interest. The flared neck has gently rounded edges, providing the perfect support for the shade. The classic bell shape of the shade is covered by a light fabric with trims that match the colour scheme of the glaze. The overall aesthetic is essentially Nordic modern thanks to the combination of interesting material choices and a design that is inspired by nature. This table lamp has a particularly lovely glaze, thick, deep, and full of colour nuances enhanced by the sculptural decorations. In the middle of the 20th century, Søholm produced a wide range of stoneware in various patterns and shapes. During that time, Einar Johansen was employed at the manufactory, and designed and created a wide range of stoneware, where his "blue series" is the most highly sought after by collectors today. Condition: In good vintage condition consistent with age and use. The lamp has a newly produced shade. Dimensions: 13.77 in Ø x 25.19 in H 35 cm Ø x 64 cm H About the designer/manufacturer: Søholm was founded by Edvard Christian Sonne and Herman Sonne Wolffsen in 1835. Herman Sonne Wolffsen ran the pottery until his death in 1887. Much of the production was then unsigned. The pottery was operated by Hans Ancher Wolffsen and his brother in 1887-1908 They adopted the popular Jugendstil with its often grotesque shapes. The raw material for the ceramics, clay, was found just outside the city limits and was of very high quality. The large clay pits provided material for many potters, faïence and terracotta factories as well as ceramists. Danish designer, Einar Johansen, was employed at Søholm in the period between 1958-1968, and designed several, beautiful stoneware and pottery, including his famous blue glazed stoneware. Johansen, created many wonderful designs for Søholm Stentøj as well as in his own studio. He originally trained as a painter at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, but changed his mind and became a ceramicist. The classic Bornholm ceramics...Category
