Scandinavian lighting tradition In 1990 the designer Olle Anderson won the nordic design competition ‘New light over Stockholm’. The challenge for the contestants was to design a streetlamp which, besides fine lighting performance, could fit equally well into historic and modern parts of the Swedish capital. Anderson’s streetlamp Stockholm won and was put into production by ateljé Lyktan in three variants: post, suspended and wall. “I’ve always tried to work within a Scandinavian lighting tradition,” says Olle Anderson. “A tradition which utilises and conveys the light in a functional and pleasant way.” Material & design Stockholm has a body and shades in aluminium. Equipped with plane hardened protective glass. The aluminium body is comprised of two parts: a broad, black outer shade and a vaulted, grey, inner shade.
