Hans Bergstrm forAtelj Lyktan, ceiling light, patinated copper, Sweden, 1940s

Swedish designer Hans Bergstrm designed this wonderful pendant in the 1940s. As for the material Bergstrm 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.

Hans Bergstrm (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.
