Floor lamp

This striking red tube floor lamp showcases remarkable design elements, including a gracefully shaped base and stem, balanced proportions, and refined details such as a small round lens at the top, an elegantly integrated switch within the tube, and sleek steel fittings. Primarily conceived as a reading lamp, it also serves as an excellent source of ambient light.

Born in Gothenburg in 1912, Anders Pehrson earned an engineering degree before joining Philips as design manager in 1952. Beyond being a talented designer, he possessed an exceptional flair for public relations. His acquisition of ateljé Lyktan in 1964 marked a turning point for the company, shaping its future success. Pehrson’s design philosophy was built on four key principles—form, function, color, and family—which established numerous design classics and propelled ateljé Lyktan onto the global stage.

Pehrson’s passion for innovation led him to a lighting fair in Hannover, where a visit to Volkswagen sparked a defining moment in his career. Seeing rows of brightly colored cars, he realized that lamps, too, could embrace the same vibrancy. Inspired by this revelation, he introduced bold and diverse colors into his designs, leaving a lasting mark on the lighting industry.
