About the Item
ASEA (before 1977 - Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget), was a Swedish electrotechnical company headquartered in Västerås. It was founded in 1883 and was, until 1987, the city's largest industrial company. The historic company has had a decisive impact on how the Swedish lighting industry developed, but also on design history. Some models are preserved in museums. Their technical prowess can be also observed in pieces like this hanging ceiling lamp.
This innovative lamp model seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, reflecting the era's design ethos. Featuring a harmonious blend of materials, the lamp offers a touch of refined sophistication. It boasts a sleek design, combining a round glass shade, a sturdy and durable, elongated brass stem that gracefully extends upward to the ceiling. The slender stem lends an air of elegance while the round shade introduces a subtle organic element, showcasing the balance of this well-thought-out design. Lamps like this can be used to concentrate light, or to just add an accent to the room. Brass was very much one of the most popular materials of the mid-century era, and when combined with glass, a sleek shiny look can be created, like this model exemplifies. This material duo makes sense from both a functional and visual standpoint. Not only is brass corrosion-resistant and durable, but it withstands the test of time, developing a beautiful patina as the years go by. Similarly, the tinted glass is also a long-lasting material, and its beautiful shiny surface compliments the warm glow of the metal. The design’s main point is its effective simplicity, free of any unnecessary ornamentation. The uncluttered look leaves the attention on the materials and on functionality that the form is also in service of. In addition, while the design is quite succinct with clear lines and precision in the smallest details, it still possesses a luxuriously stylish impression.
ASEA has a rich heritage rooted in lighting innovation, pushing boundaries and redefining norms, playing a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of Swedish lighting design during the 20th century. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and avant-garde design principles set them apart as pioneers in the industry.
