Description:

Josef Frank saw lighting as an essential element in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rejecting rigid functionalism, he designed lamps that introduced softness and character to a space. Instead of relying on a single overhead light, he favoured multiple sources to create depth and balance. This approach is evident in this piece, where a refined brass structure supports an elegantly shaped shade, diffusing light to enhance the room’s ambience.

Frank’s designs for Svenskt Tenn reflect his ability to seamlessly merge function with artistry. This lamp exemplifies his philosophy, combining high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and a thoughtful balance of form and colour. A versatile addition to any setting, it brings both practicality and a timeless aesthetic to modern and traditional interiors alike.
