This pair of table lamps by Benab, produced in Sweden in the 1980s, exemplifies a design language inspired by both natural materials and the era’s distinctive aesthetic. The bases are crafted from high-gloss porcelain, finished with a burl wood grain effect in warm, reddish-brown tones. The swirling, organic wood-like patterns lend each lamp a unique character, while the smoothly rounded, slightly tapered form creates a balanced and harmonious silhouette. At the top of each base, a brass or brass-toned metal collar introduces a subtle note of contrast and refinement. The shades are secondary, made from light beige fabric with a matte, gently textured finish and classic conical shape. Together, the lamps reflect the spirit of 1980s Scandinavian design, embracing organic forms and references to nature. Both lamps are in very good condition, with no signs of damage; the glossy porcelain bases and clean shades remain intact.In this pair of lamps, one hears the voice of 1980s Swedish aesthetics, where the search for new textures met a fascination with the natural patterns of wood—even translated into porcelain.

They would work well in interiors referencing 1980s Scandinavian style, and could
