This elegant brass lamp features a shrink-lacquered red shade and base, with refined brass foot detailing. Designed by Eric Wärnå  and made by EWÅ Armaturfabrik in Värnamo, Sweden during the 1950s, it combines industrial craftsmanship with mid-century Scandinavian design. The hood is adjustable, and the lamp can be used either as a table lamp or mounted on the wall using the included brass fitting.EWÅ Armaturfabrik, based in Värnamo, Sweden, was a mid-20th-century lighting manufacturer known for producing functional yet stylish lamps during the height of Scandinavian modern design. Active particularly in the 1940s and 1950s, the company combined industrial metalworking with contemporary design principles, creating lighting that reflected the clean lines and practical elegance associated with Swedish modernism. EWÅ operated from a purpose-built modernist factory erected in Värnamo in the 1950s, underscoring its role in the region’s growing design and manufacturing industry. Although smaller and less internationally documented than major Swedish lighting brands, EWÅ Armaturfabrik contributed to the rich ecosystem of regional manufacturers that helped establish Sweden’s reputation for high-quality, well-crafted modern lighting.In very good vintage condition, the lamp has been rewired and is ready for use. It shows minor wear, with two small spots on the shade (visible in photos), but otherwise retains its original charm and integrity. A versatile and stylish piece from a respected Swedish lighting manufacturer.
