Floor lamp model number 2426

Designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn

Sweden, 1950s

A superb example of Swedish modern design, this Josef Frank floor lamp for Svenskt Tenn captures the designer’s enduring philosophy that lighting should bring warmth, colour, and comfort to an interior. Rather than adhering to strict functionalism, Frank infused his work with softness and humanity, creating pieces that feel both elegant and alive.

The lamp’s three branching brass arms rise from a black-lacquered metal stem, supporting colourful fabric shades in red, yellow, and green. The composition radiates a lively yet balanced presence, blending sculptural form with gentle illumination. Each detail—from the polished brass fittings to the solid circular base—demonstrates the artisanal precision and material harmony central to Frank’s designs.

This Josef Frank floor lamp exemplifies Svenskt Tenn’s timeless approach, where practicality meets artistic expression. A true statement piece that enriches any interior with its light, colour, and refined craftsmanship.
