Uno & Osten Kristiansson a pair of teak and acrylic sconces wall lights
Luxus. Vittsio.
Good condition, Electrical function not tested
The designer brothers Uno & Östen Kristiansson are known for their lighting and mirrors and were particularly active from 1950 to 1970 in Sweden. They were prolific designers with a clear design aesthetic, easily identifiable as "Scandinavian Modern". Although there is little biographical information about the duo, their work is highly regarded by vintage enthusiasts and is in high demand on the vintage market today.
In 1950, Uno Kristiansson founded his own factory, Luxus, also located in Vittsjö. There he produced indoor and outdoor lamps, furniture and mirrors, designed by the two brothers. Their collections were launched in Sweden and throughout Europe in 1950. In 1968, Luxus introduced a collection of lamps with brightly colored shades that perfectly captured the spirit of the 1960s. They are said to have been designed by the renowned Finnish textile artist Marjatta Metsovaara (1927-2014).
Like many of their Swedish contemporaries, the Kristianssons favored teak in many of their designs, but they were not afraid to use glass, plastic, leather or acrylic. Notable achievements of the brothers are the Plafo Ceiling Lamp in acrylic (1950s), the UFO Lamp (1950s) in opal glass, the Model 204 Hunting Chair (1954) and a series of minimalist mirrors from the 1960s that reflect the style of Jacques Adnet's Circular Mirror (1950), originally produced by Hermès.
