Assembly Ceiling Lamp 2559/2560 w Terminal Block
”The Spider Lamps” is the nickname given to a series of light fixtures designed by Josef Frank that refers to ceiling lamp 2356 with six arms, ceiling lamp 2358 with eight arms, and ceiling lamp 2353 with three arms. All of them characterised by the naked, visible light bulbs — a nod to the Art Nouveau era and the birth of the electric lamp.
As early as the 1920s, Josef Frank began designing lamps for his own interior design company Haus und Garten, which he started together with his architect colleague Oskar Wlach.

At Pantarholmen in Karlskrona lies the Karlskrona Lamp Factory, a family-owned business that manufactures fixtures for Svenskt Tenn.
Austrian designer and architect Josef Frank has had an enormous impact on the history of Swedish design. Despite being nearly 50 years old when emigrating to Sweden, he is now considered one of the country’s most important designers of all time.
