Pair of Peter Celsing Wall Lamps for Falkenbergs Belysning, Sweden 1966

Peter Celsing wall sconces are celebrated for their iconic design, bringing modernity into any setting. Being a visual representation of “Svensk design”, this model projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of “Swedishness”. It perfectly embodies the minimalist, functional, aesthetic, focused on clean lines, creating a warm atmosphere.

These stylish brass wall sconces were designed by Celsing for Falkenbergs Belysning in 1966 for the cultural center Kulturhuset in Stockholm. The modernistic look is achieved by the simple and smart form of the silhouette. The yellow brass bodies of this pair gently reflect the light, which can be elevated even more with diverse light-bulbs. The concave bowls are slightly lifted from the wall by the matte, black lacquered rings, giving them a floating appearance. Despite the use of metal exclusively, the mix of dark and warm tones creates an interesting juxtaposition which brings visual interest to the model. The bulbs are placed directly in the centre of the bowls, reflecting the warm, subdued light evenly across the room. This model is equally attention grabbing placed vertically on a wall or on the ceiling.

The Swedish Falkenbergs Belysning was an excellent manufacturer of various lighting designs, with some models exhibited in museums to this day. Kalmar Läns Museum is among the Swedish institutions where the manufacturer’s lamps and their history is exhibited as part of the country’s cultural design heritage.
