A beautiful pair of modernist table lamps model 31866 designed in the 1940s by bertil brisborg for the renowned swedish department store nordiska kompaniet (nk). Crafted from brass, steel, and elm, they feature a softly shaped shaped shade held up by a painted elm pillar. The lamp rests on a circular brass base with an integrated push-button switch. The adjustable shade allows for versatile use, making them equally suitable as desk lamps, bedside lights, or accent pieces in a modern interior. With their minimalist lines and luxurious material palette, this model perfectly embodies scandinavian mid-century modern design, balancing simplicity with sculptural elegance.
