Floor Lamp by AB Armaturhantverk, Sweden Second half of the 20th Century

Creator: AB Armaturhantverk
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
AB Armaturhantverk represented an important thread within Swedish lighting history. Founded in Tibro in 1945, the company was rooted in a tradition of thoughtful material use and quiet, well-made forms. Their designs emphasize simplicity over excess, relying on proportion, craftsmanship, and the natural warmth of materials like brass and wood. The company’s lighting fixtures were meant to integrate into interiors with ease while still offering a sense of refinement, and this model “108” reflects that philosophy with remarkable precision.

The floor lamp’s structure is defined by a slender vertical stem that rises from a circular brass base to meet the shade. The stem combines brass and dark-stained wood, creating a subtle dialogue between warmth and polish. This mix of materials softens the strict geometry of the silhouette and gives the lamp a deeper presence than its simplicity first suggests. The cylindrical shade diffuses light in an even, calming glow, allowing the lamp to shape the room rather than dominate it. When illuminated, the brass elements catch the light, anchoring the design and giving it an understated richness. Every detail, from the base to the gentle taper of the wooden body, contributes to a sense of intentionality. This piece feels both familiar and elevated, the kind of object that improves the atmosphere of a space without calling attention to itself.

Model “108” embodies the Swedish belief that beauty comes from restraint and material honesty rather than ornament. It is functional in its purpose, and timeless through the use of materials that age gracefully. As a result, it remains a beautiful piece that will blend seamlessly into contemporary interiors while carrying with it the craftsmanship of mid-century Scandinavian design.
