About the Item

We find the design of this classic table lamp irresistible. With its warm brass shade, unique finial, and tactile leather-wrapped stem, it casts a lovely down light, perfect on a desk or alongside a reading chair. Einar Bäckström opened his lighting workshop in Malmo, Sweden, in 1918. He is perhaps best known for his modern designs, often incorporating brass and leather or wood.
