Designed by sigvard bernadotte for ifö sweden in the middle of the 1960’s. these being a beautiful, bauhaus-inspired example (after wilhelm wagenfeld) of swedish mid-century design featuring mildly sparkling and bubbly glass shades in a funky 70s coffee brown that screw on to the rich coffee brown and matte glazed ceramic bases. there is a purposeful cut-out at the base to allow for an electrical cord to run in either direction, allowing the shades to point up or downwards, possibly also to facilitate for a drawstring to be installed if desired. in never used condition! a very similar double-lighted version is also available. wiring suitable worldwide (universal, incl. The us) 110-220 v. e14 screw fittings. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs, designer records, or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, up to 250v (europe/uk standard).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
