CYLINDRICAL WALL LAMP BY UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS, SWEDEN, 1960S

THIS RARE AND ELEGANT WALL LAMP, DESIGNED BY UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS, FEATURES A CYLINDRICAL WHITE OPALINE GLASS SHADE RESTING ON A REFINED WOODEN FRAME. THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE SOFT, DIFFUSED LIGHT OF THE GLASS AND THE WARMTH OF THE WOOD EXEMPLIFIES THE KRISTIANSSONS’ MASTERFUL BALANCE OF MATERIALS.

UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON WERE RENOWNED FOR THEIR ABILITY TO ELEVATE SIMPLE FORMS INTO TIMELESS DESIGNS, AND THIS LAMP IS NO EXCEPTION. THE CLEAN CYLINDRICAL FORM AND NATURAL MATERIALS CREATE A MINIMAL YET LUXURIOUS EXPRESSION, PERFECTLY REPRESENTING SCANDINAVIAN MODERNISM OF THE 1960S.

IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION, THIS LAMP IS BOTH A FUNCTIONAL LIGHT SOURCE AND A COLLECTIBLE DESIGN OBJECT. A RARE EXAMPLE OF KRISTIANSSON’S REFINED VISION FOR LUXUS.
