Rare Ceiling Lamp in Plastic and Teak, 1950s

Offered by: Studio-Schalling-SE

Description
This rare ceiling lamp, likely produced in Sweden during the 1950s, showcases the clean lines and organic forms typical of mid-century Scandinavian modern design. The lamp’s structure is anchored by a teak suspension element, which contrasts beautifully with the dual sculptural shades. These shades are made of sprayed plastic on a metal wire frame, a material commonly used in the period for its lightweight properties and its ability to softly diffuse light, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

The shades themselves feature a sculptural form with gently pleated, curved surfaces, adding an intriguing interplay of light and shadow when illuminated. This design approach reflects the mid-century Scandinavian commitment to both functional lighting and aesthetic appeal, blending practicality with artistic expression.

The lamp’s overall design maintains a sense of elegance, balancing simplicity and visual interest. Its dimensions—50 cm in width, 22 cm in depth, and 135 cm in height (approximately 19.7 by 8.7 by 53.1 inches)—make it a striking focal point in any room while remaining light enough to complement a range of interior styles. This piece remains a fine example of the timeless quality of Scandinavian lighting design from the mid-20th century.
