Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn
Table lamp, 1960s.
An exceptionally refined and characteristic table lamp designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn. The lamp features a beautifully domed shade upholstered in a delicate floral fabric in soft pastel tones — a testament to Frank’s masterful use of colour and nature-inspired motifs. The turned wooden base in pale green lacquer adds balance and grace, uniting craftsmanship with organic modernism. A superb and emblematic piece of Scandinavian mid-century design at its most lyrical.
