Two-Armed Art Deco Hanging Lamp by ASEA, Sweden 1930s

Art Deco, emerging from the 1925 Paris Exposition, celebrated craftsmanship, modern materials, and stylised forms - balancing decorative flair with functional clarity. ASEA, one of Sweden’s leading lighting manufacturers, became known during this period for combining bold design with the durability of fine materials to create sophisticated lighting models like this hanging lamp.

This lamp exemplifies the refined geometry and material richness characteristic of the movement. The lamp is constructed in patinated bronze, its deep tones elegantly highlight both its age and craftsmanship. Suspended from a slender rod, the structure ends into a horizontal bar that supports two conical lampshades, delicately placed to diffuse the light softly and evenly. The body is accented with geometric details, including subtle flares and a stepped ornamentation, which underscore the lamp’s architectural quality. The interplay between the rich patina of the bronze and the lightness of the fabric shades creates a harmonious contrast, while the symmetrical arrangement reinforces the balance and rhythm central to Art Deco design. Every element, from the decorative finial to the proportions of the rod, reflects careful attention to detail and the pursuit of elegance in everyday lighting.

As a work of Swedish Art Deco, this ceiling lamp bridges sculptural presence and domestic functionality. It embodies the enduring qualities of the movement: geometric refinement, material richness, and atmospheric light, while also representing ASEA’s important role in shaping Scandinavian lighting in the early 20th century.
