Peter Celsing
- Wall lights
Peter von Celsing (1920–1974) was a Swedish modernist architect born in Stockholm. He studied at the Royal Institute of Technology and the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Celsing assisted architect Sigurd Lewerentz and later became a professor at the Royal Institute of Technology. He designed notable buildings like the Church of St. Mark and St. Petri Church, known for their influence on brutalist architecture.
Additionally, Celsing designed metro stations, churches in Härlanda, Almtuna, and Vällingby, and the Kulturhuset in Stockholm. He also dabbled in furniture design, particularly lighting.
Peter Celsing's iconic brass wall sconces, designed in 1966 for Stockholm's Kulturhuset, embody modern Swedish design. Crafted by Falkenbergs Belysning, these sconces feature a minimalist silhouette with yellow brass bodies reflecting light, enhanced by versatile bulb options.
The concave bowls, supported by matte black lacquered rings, create a floating effect, emitting warm, even light. Display them vertically or on the ceiling for maximum impact. Falkenbergs Belysning's lighting designs are celebrated in Swedish cultural institutions like Kalmar Läns Museum, showcasing their contribution to the nation's design heritage.
