Bertil Brisborg designed lighting for NK for over 30 years–both for the store to sell, and for custom installation in stores, restaurants, movie theaters and other businesses.
This braided cognac-leather table lamp has a simple brass base and two switches: one operates the three 25-watt bulbs, the other turns a 75-watt up-light on and off. The original shade, an ingenious design, has been recovered in an ivory fabric.
