Model "EA1288" Brass and Wood Table Lamp for ASEA, Sweden ca 1940s

The manufacturer of this lamp, 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.

This innovative table lamp model seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, reflecting the era's design ethos. Swedish lighting manufacturers, like ASEA, were masters of creating models with great textural variety - as this table lamp shows. The brass lampshade “crowns” the stem and base beautifully. The wide-brimmed, gently sloping shade with perforations creates both decorative and functional lighting, these perforations on the rim of the shade add a unique touch to the otherwise streamlined look. The shade directs the light downwards and prevents any glare, while the material choice imparts a warm, inviting glow when the lamp is illuminated. The amalgamation of materials creates a harmonious contrast, epitomising the 20th century design principles that sought to marry functionality with form and - most importantly - elegance. This lamp effortlessly showcases ASEA's hallmark minimalist and functional design ideas.

As a result of the maker’s masterful sense of proportion, this model is perfectly visually balanced. Apart from the aesthetics, the quality is also true to its Scandinavian heritage. Adding illumination to a living space with pieces such as this stylish table lamp will certainly improve the ambience of any interior.
