Pair of Directional Bumling Wall Sconces by Anders Pehrson for Ateljé Lyktan

A refined pair of Swedish wall sconces from the celebrated Bumling series designed by Anders Pehrson for Ateljé Lyktan. Executed in polished brass with concentric white acrylic diffusers, these fixtures exemplify Scandinavian functionalism balanced with sculptural presence.

The cylindrical brass shades are paired with articulated brass arms and circular wall mounts, each retaining its original switch. The interior stepped diffuser system produces a warm, glare-free illumination, distributing light evenly while preserving the integrity of the form. When lit, the layered acrylic elements create a soft, architectural glow characteristic of Pehrson's lighting philosophy.
These wall sconces can be both hardwired or plugged into the wall.

The contrast between the lustrous brass exterior and the precise, geometric diffuser structure results in a design that is both industrial and elegant. Ideal for bedside installation, hallways, or as accent lighting in modern and mid-century interiors.

Anders Pehrson (1912–1982) was a Swedish designer renowned for his influential work in modern lighting design.

Pehrson combined technical precision with warm modernist forms, emphasizing glare-free illumination and functional clarity. His Bumling series remains an icon of Swedish design, celebrated for its sculptural simplicity and enduring versatility.
