Pair of Black and Brass Floor Lamps, Model KT TYP 706 — Konsthantverk Tyringe, Sweden, 1950s

Few floor lamps manage to be both sculptural and understated at the same time — but this pair from Konsthantverk Tyringe does exactly that. Made in Sweden in the 1950s, these model KT TYP 706 lamps are built from solid brass, with the three elegantly curved legs painted black on their sides to create a striking contrast between warm brass and deep black. The result is something that feels at once refined and timeless.

The details are what elevate these lamps from functional objects to genuine design pieces. The way the legs sweep outward from the base, the delicate brass collar binding them at the stem, and the subtle brass fittings at the mid-point all speak to a level of craftsmanship that is rarely found today. The new conical linen shades (included) complete the look perfectly, adding softness to an otherwise precise and architectural form.

Konsthantverk Tyringe has been making handcrafted artistic lamps since 1921 and is still in business today. The name itself says it all — Konst meaning art, Hantverk meaning craftsmanship. A company with over a century of heritage behind it, and these lamps are a wonderful example of why that reputation endures.

The lamps are in very good good vintage condition with minor wear to the brass and minor scuffs on the black painted parts, consistent with their age and history. They are a 100% matching pair, fully functional, with new the wiring, switches and plugs.

A rare find — and one that will look equally at home in a modern interior as in a more classical setting.
