About the Item
The ceiling lamp model 40, designed by Hans Bergström and produced by Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus, Sweden, during the 1940s, is a rare and early example of Bergström’s innovative lighting design. This pendant lamp blends functionality with decorative elegance, showcasing the refined craftsmanship and modernist aesthetic that characterize much of Bergström’s work. The lamp features three bell-shaped shades crafted in solid brass, each perforated with small holes that create a warm, diffused light effect when illuminated. This perforated design allows for a soft and atmospheric glow, making the lamp both a functional light source and a striking design element.
The shades hang from a twisted textile cord, contributing to the lamp’s vintage charm, and are attached to a matching brass canopy with a three-arm support structure. The brass components have developed a rich patina over time, enhancing the lamp’s mid-century character. The natural aging process has given the brass a warm, textured appearance, with minor wear and oxidation visible on the surface, consistent with its age. These signs of wear only add to the authenticity and vintage appeal of the lamp, highlighting its history and craftsmanship.
Hans Bergström, a pioneering Swedish lighting designer and co-founder of Ateljé Lyktan, played a significant role in shaping the development of Scandinavian lighting design. Known for his attention to detail and modernist sensibilities, Bergström’s designs are noted for their balance of function and artistry. His work remains highly regarded for its clean lines, refined materials, and artistic qualities, and this lamp is a prime example of those principles in practice.
The lamp is in good vintage condition, with an evenly aged patina that complements its overall design. The perforations in the brass shades create a beautiful light effect when illuminated, casting a soft, inviting glow.
The dimensions of the lamp are as follows: a diameter of 30 cm (11.8 inches) and a height of 130 cm (51.2 inches). These proportions make it an elegant fixture that can add both functionality and aesthetic appeal to a variety of interior settings.
