DOUBLE WALL LAMP BY UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS, SWEDEN, 1960s

THIS BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED MID-CENTURY DOUBLE WALL LAMP WAS DESIGNED BY THE RENOWNED SWEDISH DESIGN DUO UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS IN THE 1960s. FEATURING TWO IDENTICAL LAMPS MOUNTED ON A SINGLE WOODEN BASE, EACH WITH A CYLINDRICAL OPALINE GLASS SHADE, IT OFFERS A WARM, DIFFUSED LIGHT THAT ADDS A SENSE OF CALM AND ELEGANCE TO ANY SPACE.

CURRENTLY CONFIGURED WITH A SHARED ELECTRICAL CONNECTION, THE LAMPS CAN BE ADAPTED FOR INDIVIDUAL POWER IF PREFERRED. THE PIECE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH MINIMAL SIGNS OF WEAR TO BOTH THE WOODEN BASE AND THE GLASS SHADES, REFLECTING THE HIGH-QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP TYPICAL OF SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN FROM THIS ERA.

UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON WERE PIONEERS OF SWEDISH MID-CENTURY DESIGN, KNOWN FOR THEIR MINIMALIST YET WARM AESTHETIC AND MASTERFUL USE OF NATURAL MATERIALS. THIS RARE DOUBLE WALL LAMP IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF THEIR LEGACY—BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND SCULPTURAL, IT’S A TIMELESS ADDITION TO ANY INTERIOR.
