SET OF MODEL 716 WALL LAMPS BY UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS, SWEDEN, 1950s

DESIGNED BY UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS IN THE 1950s, THIS RARE SET OF MODEL 716 WALL LAMPS SHOWS THE DUO’S PURE, UNDERSTATED VISION OF SCANDINAVIAN MODERNISM. EACH LAMP FEATURES A WHITE ACRYLIC SHADE, CAREFULLY NESTLED INTO THE WARM EMBRACE OF TEAK WOOD ON THREE SIDES — A QUIET, ARCHITECTURAL FORM THAT GLOWS EVEN WHEN UNLIT.

THE SCULPTURAL TEAK FRAMES CREATE A GENTLE, PROTECTIVE OUTLINE AROUND THE SHADE, GIVING THE LAMPS A SOFT GEOMETRY AND A BEAUTIFUL PLAY BETWEEN LIGHT AND WOOD. SIMPLE, ELEGANT AND HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL, THEY EMBODY THE KRISTIANSSONS’ SIGNATURE APPROACH: HONEST MATERIALS, BALANCED PROPORTIONS AND AN ATMOSPHERE OF CALM.

IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION AND RETAINING ITS ORIGINAL LABEL, THE TEAK HAS A RICH, EVEN TONE AND THE ACRYLIC SHADES REMAIN CLEAN AND BRIGHT. THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HAS BEEN CUT BUT THEY CAN STILL BE MOUNTED TO THE WALL. A CORD WITH AN ON/OFF SWITCH CAN BE INSTALLED IF DESIRED.

A BEAUTIFUL AND INCREASINGLY RARE MATCHING SET OF KRISTIANSSON’S EARLY LUXUS WORK — QUIET, PURE AND PERFECTLY SUITED TO THE CURATED ATMOSPHERE OF STUDIO HAAG.
