Ljuset Ska Vara Vitt Och Lysa Fritt (Some Lights Are Visible, Others Illuminate)

Historien om Ateljé Lyktan (History of Atalké Lyktan)

Call it an illuminating story: how Ateljé Lyktan, a little company from a village in southern Sweden, has created modern classics of lighting design since its founding in 1934. An unusual, must-have volume for design aficionados, this copiously illustrated book (in Swedish only) shows – in photos and renderings – the lamps, fixtures and outdoor lighting solutions that keep Lyktan on the cutting edge. With features on several of the top designers, such as Hans Bergström, Anders Pehrson and Per Sundstedt, and numerous photos of the lighting in the context of homes, offices and public spaces, including some delightful vintage installations.
