Stockhold Design Week 2024 – 6 lamp designs to get to know
In this blog post I am taking a look at some of the lighting design trends shown at the biggest Scandinavian design annual fair.
Hey there, fellow design enthusiasts!
Ready to dive into the latest and greatest lighting trends straight from the Stockholm Design Week 2024?
Well, buckle up because there are some serious style shifts happening in the Scandinavian design scene!
You know how Scandinavian design has always been the cool kid on the block, with its sleek minimalism and earthy vibes? Yeah, well, it’s shaking things up a bit. Forget about those muted tones and neutral palettes because warm shades are taking over! Think soft terracotta, olive green, and blush pink adding some serious depth and warmth to those Nordic interiors.
Now, before you start shouting “maximalism alert,” let me set the record straight. This isn’t about going overboard with clutter and chaos. Nah, it’s more like a call for some joy and cheer in our minimalist paradise. Picture a pop of color here and there to jazz up those clean lines and simple shapes.
And speaking of shapes, let’s talk about these six lamps stealing the spotlight at the show!
First up, we’ve got the Audo Copenhagen crew, blending Danish heritage with a modern twist. Their Resonant Pendant, originally designed by Alf Svensson and Yngvar Sandström back in the 1950s, is a real head-turner, crafted from polished brass and boasting a timeless mid-century vibe. Trust me, this baby is worth every penny of its €2550 price tag!
But hey, if you’re on the hunt for something with a bit more retro flair, check out the retractable hanging lamp straight from the swinging ’60s available at 20 Century Lights!
Then there’s the Hashira Pendant Lamp by Norm Architects, a true icon in the making. With its sleek column-like design and soft, ambient light, it’s like having your own personal sunbeam hanging from the ceiling. And at €375, it’s a steal!
Like the look of Hashira but prefer something a little more minimalist?
Check out this sleek swag pendant from the Swedish brand Mark Slöjd available at 20 Century Lights.
Now, let’s talk about the Pluto Little Pendant by Louise Hederström for Swedish Ninja. Not only is it a stunning piece of design, but it’s also eco-friendly, crafted from recycled materials. Plus, who can resist that backstory about the universe and Pluto’s existential crisis? At €439, it’s a small price to pay for a touch of celestial charm in your home.
Want something a little more on the retro style? Check out this kitchen pendant with opaque light diffusing glass shade from 20 Century Lights.
And who could forget about the Apollo Sconce by Studio McKenzie-Veal? With its blend of machined brass and mouth-blown glass, it’s like a work of art for your walls. Plus, it’s versatile enough to be mounted facing up or down, depending on your mood. Talk about lighting with options!

Last but not least, let’s give a round of applause to Wästberg and their w182 Pastille desk lamp. This sleek disc of light is the epitome of modern minimalism, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any space. And at €407, it’s a small price to pay for such a stylish statement piece!
And finally I couldn´t resist to show you the “pan” desk lamp by Hala Zeist designed in the 1970s, and still so modern looking today.
