About the Item
This rare table lamp, designed by Pierre Forssell and produced by Skultuna in Sweden during the 1950s, is a striking example of Forssell’s signature approach to design. The lamp features a cylindrical brass body with an openwork perforated shade that creates a unique light diffusion effect when illuminated. The perforated design allows light to gently filter through, casting intriguing patterns and adding warmth to the surrounding space. The brass surface has developed a rich patina over time, which enhances its vintage charm and character, making it an even more distinctive piece.
Pierre Forssell (1925–2004) was a renowned Swedish designer, known for his refined and functionalist approach to metalwork. As a long-time designer for Skultuna, he crafted a wide range of lighting fixtures and home accessories that focused on clean lines, precision, and high-quality craftsmanship. His works are widely regarded as quintessential examples of Scandinavian modernism, and they remain highly collectible due to their timeless aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship.
The lamp is in good vintage condition, with the brass showing a naturally aged patina, consistent with its history and use. This adds to the authenticity and appeal of the piece, emphasizing its connection to mid-century Scandinavian design. The openwork shade and carefully crafted body are testaments to Forssell’s skill and attention to detail.
The dimensions of the lamp are as follows: a diameter of 9 cm (3.54 inches) and a height of 40 cm (15.75 inches), making it a compact yet elegant piece suitable for various settings, from side tables to desks. Its understated elegance and functional lighting capabilities make it an enduring example of Scandinavian modern design.
