When designing this lamp for Wastberg, Lindvall's main aim was to design an archetypical lamp inspired by its original predecessors - the oil or the kerosene lamp - together with shades that used to sit on lamps he grew up with - lamps with an incandescent light bulb and a conical lampshade.
Jonas Lindvall was born in Malmö in 1963 and trained as an interior architect at the University of Gothenburg’s School of Design and Crafts. He has also studied furniture design at the Royal College of Art in London and architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
Jonas started his own studio in 1993. Several of Jonas’ pieces of furniture have won the “Excellent Swedish Design” award and are represented in museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm.
