RARE MID-CENTURY LAMP BY UNO & ÖSTEN KRISTIANSSON FOR LUXUS, SWEDEN – 1960s
This exceptional mid-century lamp was designed in the 1960s by Swedish brothers Uno & Östen Kristiansson for Luxus. Featuring a single light source discreetly hidden within a large acrylic tubular shade, the lamp emits a soft, diffused glow that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The shade is elegantly supported by three tapered teak legs, resulting in a minimalist design that is both timeless and refined.
The use of acrylic glass was a groundbreaking choice at the time, contributing to the lamp’s distinctive character. The tripod base, crafted from oil-treated oak, exemplifies the brothers’ masterful Scandinavian design sensibility. Documented in a vintage Luxus catalogue as model no. 308, this rare piece has become highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
In very good original condition with only minor signs of wear on the bottom of the shade, this lamp remains a true testament to Swedish mid-century craftsmanship. Whether used as a table or floor lamp, it adds a warm glow and sophisticated presence to any interior.
