Pair of Carl-Axel Acking floor lamps, Sweden, 1940s

About the Item

This exquisite pair of floor lamps, model 2645, was designed by renowned Swedish architect and designer Carl-Axel Acking. Manufactured by Bröderna Malmströms in Malmö, Sweden, these lamps are a testament to the refined craftsmanship and elegant aesthetic of Swedish mid-century design. The lamps feature beautifully perforated brass shades, creating a soft and atmospheric glow when illuminated. Their slender stems are wrapped in original hand-stitched leather, adding a luxurious tactile contrast to the polished brass elements. With their delicate detailing and timeless form, these lamps embody the sophistication of Acking’s design philosophy. Still in their original condition, this pair is an exceptional find for collectors and connoisseurs of Scandinavian design. Perfect for adding both character and historical significance to an interior, they serve as stunning examples of 1940s Swedish lighting design
