Pair of vintage Scandinavian lamps in turned Scandinavian pine, produced in the 1970s by Solbackens Svarveri, a Swedish workshop renowned for its turned woodwork.
This quintessentially "Scandinavian Modern" model is distinguished by its sculptural construction in turned pine, composed of a stem structured in successive volumes—cylinder, sphere, and architectural element—resting on a wide, stable circular base.
The overall design presents a balanced silhouette, typical of Scandinavian design of the period, where the simplicity of form highlights the materiality of the wood.
The expressive grain of the pine, accentuated by the turning process, gives each lamp a strong visual presence, both warm and graphic.
This harmonious pair, perfectly matched in color and proportions, forms a coherent decorative ensemble—particularly sought after for use as bedside lamps or symmetrical accent lighting.
