Swedish architect Yngve Ekström is primarily recognized for his high-quality wooden furniture, particularly the iconic bentwood ‘Lamino’ chair introduced in 1956. However, there are exceptions in his impressive repertoire. The acrylic table lamp ‘Tulip,’ launched in the early 1970s, is one of these.
