Falkenbergs Belysning Brass and Leather Table Lamp, Sweden, 1960s
About the Item
Designers have been consistently inspired by nature in their work during the midcentury era, which makes curvilinear shapes an ongoing font of inspiration. Like in so many other areas, Scandinavian designers excelled in this as well, creating many of the most well-known silhouettes of midcentury lighting design.
Characterized by clean lines, the elegant leather-wrapped rod, and intuitive functionality, this Swedish table lamp is eternally timeless and timely. Like many of the decade’s designs, this table lamp masterfully pairs materials and textures. The pairing of brass and leather creates an interesting visual effect, where the elegant and traditional look of the leather meets the modern aesthetic of the bright, polished brass. Swedish lighting designers were masters of creating designs with great texture variety as this table lamp shows. The elegant lampshade “crowns” the base and neck beautifully, topped with what appears to be the continuation of the rod. It appears as if the elongated neck pierced through the leather-wrapped middle part and the shade, which is a clever design element. The brass shade directs the light downwards and prevents any glare, and the beauty of the colour and texture of the brass and leather neck is emphasized even further when the light is turned on. The design offers interest from under the shade as well, with a curved bulb holder.
The Swedish company, Falkenbergs Belysning was an excellent manufacturer of various lighting designs, with some models exhibited in museums to this day. Kalmar Läns Museum is among the Swedish institutions where the manufacturer’s lamps and their history is exhibited as part of the country’s cultural design heritage.

- Swedish Brass Floor Lamp by Öia Belysning, Sweden, circa 1960sBy BelysningLocated in Utrecht, NLSwedish Modern, with its simplified lines and lack of excessive ornamentation, was a counter reaction to the earlier, more decorative design movements such as Art Deco. In comparison, as this floor lamp demonstrates, the midcentury era brought streamlined modernism to Sweden as well. This model was created by the Swedish firm, ÖIA during the golden age of Scandinavian lighting design. The design is characterized by its simplified forms, and stylishly contrasting materials. The body is composed of a beautiful, patinated brass structure with the lower part of the tube wrapped in leather. The round, brass column frames the leather thus highlighting the beautiful handiwork. The contrasting materials are the main appeal of this model and bring the aesthetic into modernism. The shade has a Classic shape that is ideal to direct the light, with a beautiful brass colour and a decorative ring. The head is adjustable thanks to the OMI made joints at the neck, making this lamp perfect spotlight lighting. The OMI company (Otto Meinzer GmbH & Co Metallwarenfabrik from Iserlohn in Germany) was a manufacturer of chromed brass joints for the European and the USA lighting...Category
