Pair of Swedish lamps – Solbackens Svarveri – 1970s

A pair of vintage Scandinavian lamps made from turned Scandinavian pine, produced in the 1970s by Solbackens Svarveri, a Swedish workshop renowned for its turned woodwork. This typically "Scandinavian Modern" model is distinguished by a sculptural construction in turned pine, consisting of a structured shaft made up of successive volumes — cylinder, sphere, and architectural element — resting on a wide and stable circular base. The overall design presents a balanced silhouette, characteristic of Scandinavian design from the period, where the simplicity of forms highlights the materiality of the wood. The expressive grain of the pine, accentuated by the turning process, gives each lamp a strong visual presence, both warm and graphic. This homogeneous pair, perfectly matched in colour and proportions, forms a coherent decorative ensemble — particularly sought after for use as bedside lamps or in symmetrical accent lighting.
