More information
Modellen förekommer från år 1959 i Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabriks kataloger, under modellnummer 15624. Sannolikt köpte Böhlmarks NK's restlager när produktionen av konsument-armaturer trappades ner för att slutligen upphöra omkring år 1965.
Designer
Bertil Brisborg was head of the lighting department at Nordiska Kompaniet from 1941 and probably until the mid-1960s. He led the company into a new era and became a prominent figure for the new style ideals and the aesthetics that we know today as Swedish Modern. A characteristic feature of Brisborg's designs was the introduction of leather in lighting fixtures at the beginning of the 1940s, which at the time was a pioneering move. Brisborg led the work with fixtures for the Triva collection and designed several ground-breaking fixtures through the 1940-50s.
