Model "15101" Floor Lamp by Harald Notini for Arvid Böhlmarks, Sweden 1930s

This model “15101” floor lamp was made by German-born, Swedish designer and sculptor, Harald Notini. He was the artistic leader at Böhlmarks and is represented at the “Nationalmuseum” in Stockholm. Between the 1920s and 1950s, Böhlmarks was a significant player in the Swedish design movement. Harald Notini, after becoming creative director in 1916, drove the company forward, producing what were considered pioneering and distinctive luminaires for the time.

Wherever they are placed, floor lamps have been used as practical and decorative focal points since the early 20th century. As this piece showcases, designers managed to master the art of soft, cosy light without blinding or crushing space perception. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this model is a testament to both Notini and Böhlmarks. It combines a classical shape re-imagined with carefully thought out proportions and Swedish craftsmanship. The geometric construction defines this model, making it one-of-a-kind. The beautiful construction allows for it to look light and airy, yet still appear grounded. The most visually appealing aspect of this piece are the spiral decorations above the shade. Overall, the distinctive design of this floor lamp represents mid-century modernism in its purest form, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. Its design not only illuminates a space but also adds a sculptural element, making it both a quintessential example of mid-century modern lighting and an interesting visual accent in any interior.

Arvid Böhlmark's lamp factory was a Swedish importer and manufacturer of lighting fixtures between 1872 and 1977. In 1947, at the company's 75th anniversary, Böhlmarks was still counted as Sweden's largest company in its category. As this model shows, their lighting pieces were of the highest quality both in material and visual terms.
