An exceptionally rare pair of wall lamps designed by uno & östen kristiansson for luxus vittsjö, sweden, during the 1960s. beautifully proportioned and rarely encountered, these sculptural wall lamps perfectly embody the warmth and understated elegance of scandinavian modern design. Each lamp features a long, finely crafted solid oak stem supporting a cylindrical white acrylic diffuser that emits a beautifully soft, ambient light. The natural oak and luminous acrylic create a striking contrast, characteristic of the refined material palette for which the kristiansson brothers became renowned. unlike the more commonly encountered luxus wall lights, this model retains its original wall mounting plates, allowing the lamps to be installed with the diffuser pointing either upwards or downwards. This versatility makes them equally suited for hallways, living spaces, bedrooms, or as architectural lighting in contemporary interiors. the acrylic shades diffuse the light evenly, eliminating glare while producing the warm atmospheric illumination that defines swedish lighting of the period. matching pairs of this model are seldom offered for sale, making them an exceptional opportunity for collectors of scandinavian lighting. materials solid oak stems white acrylic diffusers original metal wall plates original fittings dimensions height: 56 cm width: 17 cm diffuser diameter: 10 cm electrical 1 × e27 bulb per lamp 110–240v led compatible professionally checked and fully functional condition excellent vintage condition with only minimal signs of age and use.
