Hans Bergström for Ateljé Lyktan Pendant in Patinated Copper

Hans Bergström for Ateljé Lyktan, ceiling light, patinated copper, Sweden, 1940s

Swedish designer Hans Bergström designed this wonderful pendant in the 1940s. As for the material Bergström chose copper that has patinated wonderfully over time. The shade of the light is perforated with long gaps that allow a beautiful light partition and play of shadows. Another wonderful asset of this design is the multi-functionality of using them indoors or outdoors.

Hans Bergström (1910-1996), a luminary figure hailing from the realm of Swedish architecture and design, was born on November 4, 1910, in Karlshamn, Sweden. After his completion of secondary school in 1927, Hans embarked on an internship at Ystad Metall, a local craft industry situated near his grandfather's farm. In 1929, he sought further education and enrolled at the esteemed School of Art and Design in Stockholm. Remarkably, even before his graduation from this institution, at the age of twenty, Hans showcased his prowess as a designer for Ystad Metall at the prestigious Stockholm Exhibition in 1930.

Kindly note that this item is in used condition and shows a strong patina and signs of wear and use on the inside of the shade, which adds to its authentic and aged appearance. Please be informed that making the light suitable for long-term outdoor use will incur additional costs. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
