Luxus teak lamp, ceiling

Extraordinary teak ceiling lamp from Luxus Vittsjö and Uno and Östen Kristiansson. Diameter 30 cm, height 30 cm. 

Uno Kristiansson (1925–2001) and Östen Kristiansson (1927–2003) were Swedish brothers whose designs from the 1950s to the 1970s epitomize the elegance and functionality of Scandinavian modernism. Working both individually and together, they created lighting, mirrors, and furniture that combined simple, organic forms with high-quality natural materials such as teak, glass, and leather.

Uno is particularly known for his innovative lighting designs for Luxus in Vittsjö, featuring clean lines and warm, diffused light, while Östen’s work includes refined wooden furniture and mirrors for manufacturers like Vittsjö Möbelfabrik. Their pieces are celebrated for their craftsmanship, understated beauty, and enduring appeal, and they remain highly sought after on the vintage design market.
