Model "B-31" Brass Table Lamp by Bergboms, Sweden Mid-20th Century

Creator: Bergboms
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Bergboms played an important role in defining Swedish lighting throughout the mid-20th century. Their lamps were not concerned with spectacle but with proportion, light quality, and the subtle rhythm of materials. Brass was often their anchor, used as a medium that reflected refinement, and their silhouettes tended to be balanced, expressing Swedish postwar modernity.

This model "B-31" table lamp embodies that ethos with precision. The structure is reduced to its most essential elements. A slender brass stem rises from a tripod base, creating a delicate visual quality while maintaining an underlying sense of stability. The shade is delicate, slightly tapered and light in colour, allowing light to diffuse in a warm, even manner. No element individually overpowers the design. Instead, all details come together to express classic, timeless allure and clear functionality. Every design choice: the proportion between stem height and shade diameter, the angle of the legs, the way the brass lines catch light, all work towards obtaining a piece that rewards attention.

Swedish design sophistication that arrives through understatement, and this piece illustrates it. It does not need excess to feel confident. It simply stands with clarity, offering warm illumination and a sense of contentedness to a room. That is the beauty of Bergboms' models: balance, restraint, and the natural calm of well designed pieces.
