A pair of floor lamps model 2564

Designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn

Sweden, 1950s

This exquisite pair of Josef Frank floor lamps exemplifies the designer’s poetic balance between function and warmth. Each lamp features a brass structure adjustable in height, resting on delicately turned mahogany feet that lend lightness and character to the design. Unlike Frank’s all-brass models, this version introduces a refined contrast of materials, creating a sense of balance and ease.

Frank viewed lighting as essential to shaping atmosphere and emotion within a space. He believed that multiple sources of light—rather than a single central fixture—brought depth and harmony to interiors, a philosophy beautifully embodied in this timeless pair.

Born in Vienna in 1885, Josef Frank became one of the leading voices of Swedish modern design through his long collaboration with Svenskt Tenn. His work combined architectural precision with humanistic warmth, uniting craftsmanship, colour, and comfort in a uniquely expressive way.

A superb example of Scandinavian modernism, this pair of Josef Frank floor lamps captures his enduring vision of design as both functional and deeply personal.
