Elevate your décor with this striking example of Scandinavian design: a sculptural hand-blown art glass lamp base by Swedish designer Paul Kedelv for Flygsfors Glasbruk, circa 1950s. This dynamic piece highlights a dramatic black & white twisted "ribbon" swirl encased in crystal-clear glass — a technique reflecting Kedelv’s signature style and the quality craftsmanship of Flygsfors.
Designed during the mid-century modern era, this lamp base brings together a refined Swedish aesthetic and bold graphic contrast. Kedelv, a student of Simon Gate and Edward Hald, took over as artistic designer at Flygsfors beginning in 1949. Under his influence, Flygsfors developed its reputation for inventive free-form, multicoloured glass design.
The black and white twist motif elegantly catches and reflects light, making this lamp base as much sculpture as functional lighting. Ideal for a modern, minimalist, Scandinavian, or mid-century interior, it serves as a statement piece for a living room, bedside table, or stylish office.
