The lighting manufacturer Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik was founded in 1872 in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. Originally an importer of paraffin lamps, the company soon began producing kerosene heaters. By the late 1880s, Böhlmarks had become the first Swedish manufacturer of paraffin lamps. In 1894, the company acquired the Pukeberg glassworks, which produced both lampshades and household glassware. In 1904, Böhlmarks began manufacturing electric lighting fixtures—a product line that soon replaced traditional oil and paraffin lamps. Over the years, many prominent designers worked with the company, including Gunnar Asplund, Harald Notini, and Sigurd Lewerentz. The company was dissolved in 1977.
