Leather Floor Lamp by Ateljé Lyktan, Sweden second half of the 20th century

Creator: Atelje Lyktan
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Since its establishment in 1934, Ateljé Lyktan has been at the forefront of Swedish lighting design, known for its commitment to combining function and material innovation while maintaining aesthetics. Founded by Hans Bergström and Verna Norell, icons of Swedish design, the company’s pieces embody Scandinavian modern ideals.

This floor lamp is a strong example of Ateljé Lyktan’s dedication to craftsmanship and understated sophistication. The lamp features a slender stem wrapped in a rich toned leather, introducing warmth and tactile interest that contrast beautifully with the polished brass elements. The shaft curves subtly at the top, leading to a round brass shade that allows for directional lighting through its adjustment mechanism, perfect for reading or focused tasks. The circular brass base anchors the lamp with stability while maintaining a grounded presence. The careful detailing, such as the clean transition between the leather and metal components, reflects the company’s meticulous approach to design. The pairing of leather and brass highlights the Scandinavian appreciation for honest materials, celebrating their natural textures and patina over time. The overall silhouette is graceful and minimal, yet it conveys a sense of sculptural presence through its timeless shape.

This floor lamp offers an inviting balance between practicality and decorative elegance, serving as a striking accent next to a lounge chair, sofa, or desk. With its emphasis on clarity of form and a refined use of materials, it exemplifies the quality craftsmanship at the heart of Scandinavian design.
