Floor lamp model number 2426

Designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn

Sweden, 1950s

This exceptional Josef Frank floor lamp embodies the designer’s belief that lighting should bring warmth, colour, and harmony to the home. Conceived in the 1950s for Svenskt Tenn, the piece reflects Frank’s humanistic approach to modern design—rejecting stark minimalism in favour of comfort, joy, and natural balance.

The lamp features three gracefully curved brass arms rising from a black-lacquered stem, each crowned with a fabric shade in vivid red, yellow, and green. The composition creates a rhythmic interplay of colour and form, offering both practical illumination and sculptural beauty. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, its polished brass fittings and weighted circular base underscore Frank’s mastery of proportion and material refinement.

This Josef Frank floor lamp perfectly captures the spirit of Svenskt Tenn’s Scandinavian modernism, where craftsmanship and creativity coexist with effortless elegance. More than a source of light, it stands as a timeless expression of Frank’s philosophy: that good design should uplift daily life through warmth, colour, and grace.
