About the Item

An exceptional early multi-lamp designed by Johan Petter Johansson for Triplex Asea, Sweden, dating from the 1930s. This rare industrial lighting piece embodies the pioneering spirit of early Scandinavian functionalism. Constructed from articulated metal arms with precision-engineered ball joints, the lamp offers a remarkable range of movement, allowing the light to be directed with great accuracy. The adjustable shade further enhances its practical versatility, reflecting Johansson’s deep understanding of industrial ergonomics and mechanical design. Originally conceived for professional and workshop environments, this lamp stands today as a sculptural object of striking presence. The honest materials, visible joints, and utilitarian elegance give it a strong architectural character, equally compelling as a functional light source or as a standalone statement piece. Showing authentic signs of age and use consistent with its industrial origin, the lamp retains a beautifully preserved patina that underscores its historical significance and originality. A rare and highly desirable example of early Swedish industrial design, representing an important chapter in the development of modern adjustable lighting. * We can pack and ship world-wide !
