Available in the then-popular and now rather rare brown color, the Olympia brings a special elegance and warm vintage atmosphere to any interior. Typical features of the model include the minimalist metal base, the elegant, slender lamp rod, and the adjustable, cylindrical lamp head, which give the lamp its distinctive, functional shape. The high-quality craftsmanship of the painted metal, the flexible light direction, and the uncluttered, ergonomic design represented timeless Swedish quality then and now. Its international collector value is based not least on the fact that this very Olympia floor lamp in 1970s brown is featured on the cover of the renowned book "Ljuset ska vara vitt och lysa fritt" by Johan Jansson and Staffan Bengtsson together with designer Anders Pehrson – clear evidence of the significant role this lamp plays in the history of Ateljé Lyktan and in Pehrson's work. For design enthusiasts, collectors of authentic vintage lighting, and fans of exclusive Scandinavian interiors, the Olympia is the perfect original for setting stylish accents with a lasting design history.
