Uno & Osten Kristiansson
The Swedish designers and brothers Uno & Östen Kristiansson, known for their lighting and mirror designs, were very active in Sweden from the 1950s to the 1970s. They were prolific designers with a clear design aesthetic that is easily recognizable as Scandinavian modern. Although there is a lack of biographical information available on the couple, their designs are nevertheless appreciated by vintage enthusiasts and are highly sought after in the vintage market today. Uno was born in 1925 and Östen two years later in 1927. Little is known about their formative years, but it can be assumed that they spent their early years in southern Sweden, learning the furniture trade from their father, who own furniture store. , Vittsjö Furniture (founded 1919), named after the Swedish village in which it was located. In 1950, Uno Kristiansson founded his own production company, Luxus, which was also based in Vittsjö. He produced a range of products, including home and interior lamps, furniture and mirrors, which were designed by the two brothers. In the 1950s, the collections were launched nationally in Sweden and internationally throughout Europe. In 1968, Luxus presented a collection of lamps with brightly colored textile shades that perfectly reflected the atmosphere of the 1960s. They are said to have been designed by the well-known Finnish textile artist Marjatta Metsovaara (1927-2014).
