"6822" Table Lamp by Harald Notini for Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, Sweden 1920s

This model “6822” table lamp was made by 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 drove the company forward after becoming creative director in 1916, producing what were considered pioneering and distinctive luminaires for the time. His work from the 1920s is closely associated with the Swedish Grace movement, a uniquely Nordic interpretation of Art Deco that favoured clean lines, restrained ornamentation, and symmetry.

Like most light fixtures of the period, the design of this table lamp assumes a simpler look. Notini prized the marriage of form and function, with a poise that is hard to force or imitate. The construction is straightforward through the use of worked metal, with the piece crafted from patinated brass. The lamp is grounded by the hexagonal base, and flows upwards in a sleek, elegant manner towards a cone-shaped shade. When turned on, the light casts a warm and inviting glow, creating a timeless and comforting ambience. Scandinavian mid-century lighting pieces like this lamp are famous for multiple reasons. On one hand, the commitment to quality craftsmanship ensures durability, a hallmark that endures through generations. On the other hand, their timeless allure lies in the ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia, while remaining relevant in today's design landscape. This “6822” model effortlessly encapsulates these principles.

Table lamps are classic examples of how simplicity, combined with thoughtful craftsmanship, can result in items that transcend their utilitarian purpose - becoming works of art in their own right. Today we consider the mid-20th century a golden age for Swedish design and craftsmanship. During these decades, some of the country's most significant lighting creations were designed and produced at Böhlmarks.
