Model 1041.32 Table Lamps by Uno & Östen Kristiansson for Luxus, set of 2
Uno & Östen Kristiansson for Luxus
Design: 1970s | Manufactured: 1970s
These sculptural and highly distinctive lamps perfectly capture the forward-thinking spirit of Scandinavian design from the late modernist era, where form, material, and light are reduced to their purest expression.
Each lamp features a striking contrast between the tapered acrylic shade and the robust cylindrical ceramic base. The result is a bold yet balanced silhouette,architectural, almost industrial, yet softened by the diffused glow of the white acrylic. Whether illuminated or not, the lamps read as sculptural objects with a strong visual presence.
Designed to command attention without overpowering a space, this pair works beautifully on a console, sideboard, or bedside table, adding rhythm and character to both minimalist and layered interiors.
