Floor lamp

By Anonymous, for ASEA Belysning

Sweden, 1940-50s

This ASEA brass floor lamp exemplifies the restrained elegance of Swedish mid century lighting. The round, brass clad base conceals an internal iron weight and rests on four discreet low feet, giving the lamp visual lightness while ensuring stability. From this base rises a straight column that supports a slender lateral arm, both elements meeting in adjustable joints that allow the light to be raised, lowered and swung to the side with ease.

The domed shade in pressed brass sheet focuses the light gently downward, making the lamp ideal beside a reading chair or sofa. The warm patina of the brass highlights the subtle lines of the design and reflects ASEA’s reputation for precise engineering combined with refined aesthetics. Marked in the casting ASEA 741118, this vintage Swedish brass floor lamp is a fine example of functional Scandinavian design with a sculptural presence.
