About the Item

An extremely rare, possibly unique, bronze jar with amazing patina. The lid adorned with a knob in the shape of a fish. Designed by Hans Bergström for Ystad Metall / Brons, Sweden, 1930s. Great condition. Stamped 'HB' and makers mark. Swedish architect-designer Hans Bergström (1910-1996) was born in Karlshamn. After completing secondary school in 1927, he worked for several years at the Ystad-Metall metal manufactory in Ystad, where he designed lamps, mirrors, bottles, jars, and bowls. In 1929, he sought further education and enrolled at the esteemed School of Art and Design (now known as Konstfack) in Stockholm. Remarkably, even before his graduation from this institution, at the age of twenty, Hans showcased his prowess as a designer for Ystad Metall at the prestigious Stockholm Exhibition in 1930. After graduating in 1933, Bergström returned for a short time to Ystad-Metall before establishing his own lighting firm, Ateljé Lyktan, in 1934 in Helsingborg. In 1935, he and his wife Vera relocated the atelier to Åhus, on Sweden’s southeast coast. Bergström undertook various commissions spanning a wide range of architectural environments, including churches, private residences, and public buildings. It was from this point forward that Bergström spearheaded a revolution in Swedish luminaire manufacturing, fundamentally transforming the perception and application of electric lighting in the coming decades. For a span of three decades, Bergström held the position of creative director at Ateljé Lyktan and served as the sole designer of the company until the early 1960s. Through his pioneering work, Bergström emerged as a leading figure in the realm of modern Swedish lighting fixtures. On June 14, 1996, Hans Bergström passed away at the age of 86, leaving behind a remarkable legacy.
