Ceiling lamp designed by Harald Notini for Böhlmarks
Sweden, 1940s
Mouth-blown glass, cane and brass. This ceiling lamp by Harald Notini was designed in the 1940s and features a mouth-blown glass shade that emits a soft, warm light, creating an inviting atmosphere in any room. The delicate interplay of the cane-wrapped design around the glass adds a refined texture, providing both structural and aesthetic appeal. Suspended by a brass rod, the combination of materials—glass, cane, and brass—offers a timeless, yet distinctively Scandinavian feel.
Harald Notini, a prolific designer for Böhlmarks, was known for his innovative use of materials and form, making this lamp a perfect representation of Swedish craftsmanship during the era. The 1940s marked a period where Scandinavian designers began incorporating natural materials like cane and wood, paired with clean lines and functional designs. This ceiling lamp reflects the simplicity and elegance of that era, with a focus on subtle detailing and durable craftsmanship.
The ceiling lamp model "1555," designed by Notini in the 1940s for Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, features a shade made of "ivory glass," complemented by braided rattan and brass elements.
Notini's work was showcased in various art and craft exhibitions, including those in Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg, and Paris. His designs are part of collections at institutions such as the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
