Description
This elegant floor lamp was produced by Bergboms in Sweden during the 1960s. The design was created by Alf Svensson and Yngvar Sandström, both of whom were brilliant Swedish designers of the era.
Swedish Modern, with its simplified lines and lack of excessive ornamentation, was a counter-reaction to the earlier, more decorative design movements, such as Art Deco. In comparison - as this floor lamp demonstrates - the mid-century era brought streamlined modernism to Sweden. This lamp has a classic, inherently elegant design that contemporary pieces still try to mimic. Like many of the decade’s designs, this lamp masterfully pairs materials and textures. As a result, the piece has an essentially Nordic modern look thanks to its understated and elegant design choices. The main material comprising the base and body is brass; the polished brass is the perfect material to showcase the curvature of the cone-shaped base, as well as the thin, sleek body of the stem. The texture of the lampshade’s fabric matches beautifully with the brass, and allows this ‘G-024’ model to complement any style of interior. In line with the Functionalist trend of the time, Alf Svensson & Yngvar Sandström abandoned ornamentation in favour of form for this piece. Nonetheless, the warmth and beauty inherent in Swedish design is maintained, as well as the high-quality craftsmanship expected of Swedish manufacturer Bergboms.
At its most basic level, mid-century modern designs are known for juxtaposing sleek lines with organic shapes, and using new materials and manufacturing methods to re-imagine traditional pieces. This floor lamp is a perfect example of this, with a modern look that isn’t a complete departure from the past.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
