SF 28 Table Lamp

The SF 28 Table Lamp is designed by Sweden about 1928 and made by Tecnolumen. The unique design of table lamp SF 28 looks decorative on small tables and strays glare-free diffuse light. Structure from chromed or black lacquered metal, aluminum cap and opaque glass diffuser. The design of this table lamp originated with the group of architects who were active in Swedish functionalism and contemporary with the Bauhaus. During this same period, the Dutch firm Gispen produced a similar lamp, also featuring a hemisphere, serving as a reflector, resting loosely on the globe. The polished aluminum cowl is held on the glass globe by friction alone. The reflector can be adjusted as desired for glare-free illumination. This reduction to the most functional elementary shapes, a sphere, and a cylinder is the distinguishing feature of this table lamp, which can still find many practical uses today.
