Based in 1948 in Småland, in southern Sweden, Örsjö initially made metallic parts and falu röda, the crimson paint synonymous with Scandinavian nation homes and barns. Within the early fifties, the corporate began producing lighting that attracted Ikea founder, Ingvar Kamprad: for years, Örsjö saved Ikea’s lamp departments stocked. Within the eighties, Örsjö parted methods with Ikea and in latest a long time has centered on producing well-crafted lighting by celebrated Swedish designers previous and current (and, admittedly, at costs which might be removed from Ikea’s).
Örsjö’s handmade lights have elegantly minimalist silhouettes that take a look at dwelling in nearly any room, and a few work equally properly indoors and out. The model is understood in Europe however under-the-radar within the US: we’re completely satisfied to report that many of the designs can be found within the States by Two Enlighten of Glendale, CA, Örsjö’s North American distributor. Listed here are eight shining examples.
