Vibrant Swedish Apartment Filled with Bold Contrasts
In the heart of Bergen, Norway, a monochrome Swedish apartment stands out with its light, character, and effortless style. This apartment, unlike the little cabin previously mentioned, is not for sale via Bertwig. Instead, it is being discussed in this article.
The apartment, much like the previous houses, features rooms labeled as 'Sovrum' (bedroom), 'Vardagsrum' (sitting room), and 'Kök' (kitchen). However, the interior design leans more towards a modern monochrome aesthetic, providing a refreshing contrast to the vintage items found in the previous houses.
The apartment is filled with light, character, and effortless style, but the source for the vintage scissor lamp is not specified. While not involved in the photography for this article, the work is credited to Andreas Ljungqvist.
For those seeking genuine mid-century scissor/accordion wall lamps made of wood and with pleated shades, particularly those from Denmark or Sweden, around 1950s-1970s styles, Etsy shops and vintage lighting dealers specializing in Nordic designs will often have these unique lighting pieces available.
One such example is the Le Klint Vintage Wall Scissor/Accordion Extensible Lamp Model 224 by Erik Hansen from Denmark, made of beech wood with the original Le Klint lampshade, representing classic Nordic craftsmanship. Another option is a Danish design scissor lamp with a pleated upper lampshade available from LeKrazyHorse on Etsy.
Midcentury Scandinavian or Northern European scissor lamps from the 1950s-1970s, such as the Stilnovo off-white scissor lamp or 1960s Hala Hannover lamps from Germany, are notable for their solid quality and vintage aesthetic, often in bright or muted colors.
While not specifically scissor lamps, Swedish vintage floor lamps like the "Bumling" by Anders Pehrson from the late 60s evoke the style and light character typical of Scandinavian vintage interiors and might complement the look.
In the previous house, original floors and exposed brick were featured, and the same is true for the apartment. The original floors and exposed brick add to the character and charm of both properties.
In conclusion, whether you're looking for vintage Scandinavian lighting pieces or simply seeking a modern monochrome apartment filled with light and character, Bergen, Norway, has something to offer. The monochrome Swedish apartment, with its unique blend of modern and vintage elements, is a testament to the timeless appeal of Scandinavian design.
