ANDERS PEHRSON
A vision in color and form
When Anders Pehrson took over ateljé Lyktan in 1964, he had a clear vision – to bring more color into a world where lighting had long been dominated by black, white, and gray. With his four guiding principles, form, function, color, and family, he challenged the ideals of the time and set a new course for Swedish lighting design.
In 1968, Bumling was born, a lamp whose soft silhouette, generous proportions, and playful color palette quickly made it a design classic. More than half a century later, it is just as relevant, now in a new and unexpected interpretation together with Svenska Ostklassiker.
