Model "6408" Brass and Oak Table Lamp by Falkenbergs, Sweden 1950s

Creator: Falkenbergs Belysning
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Falkenbergs Belysning was one of the Swedish manufacturers who, through the 1950s, articulated a distinctly Scandinavian language in the world of lighting design. Their pieces emphasize clarity of form, honest materials, and finely tuned proportions rather than excess. The company often combined materials in a way that felt measured and calm. This "6408" model reflects the moment in Swedish lighting where modernity was distilled to something functional and concise, without sacrificing atmosphere.

This lamp is built around a simple geometry. A tapered conical brass shade defines the direction of the light, widening toward the opening to intensify the forward cast. The stem below is divided into two parts: a slender brass neck that connects to the shade, and an oak body that brings warmth and tactility into the vertical line. The wood grounds the piece with its present and organic character, contrasting the brass. Thus, the lamp never reads cold or rigid. The base returns to brass, circular and slightly tapered, establishing a visual weight that stabilises the silhouette. The surfaces are clean, reflective, and intentional. The angle of the shade, the tilt of the neck, the juxtaposition between metal and wood are all thought-out and perfectly executed.

This piece carries a quiet confidence that has the power to effortlessly bring ambiance within a room. Whether placed on a desk, a side table, or a shelf, its elegance and charm shine through.
