Kvist was the first result of collaboration between Jonas Bohlin and Örsjö Belysning – a product that has become a contemporary classic and something of a hallmark for the Örsjö brand. The first edition of Kvist, launched in 1999, symbolised in many ways the most distinctive qualities of Jonas Bohlin’s design: “function, innovation and personality”. Kvist is the Swedish word for “branch”. The form, which is restrained yet highly functional with dimmable light sources that can be directed, is inspired by the branches of a tree. ”When my son was born, I planted an apple tree. The apple tree is still there, growing and bearing fruit. Kvist, too, is a ”tree” that ages gracefully,” says Jonas Bohlin. Here at Örsjö Belysning we are committed to working with high quality materials. That is why we have chosen to use durable brass and copper. These are materials that endure – materials that age with dignity, gently shifting in shade over time, slowly developing a unique patina to become more beautiful with each passing year. Kvist floor lamp is at home in any setting. Thanks to the four arms and lamp holders that each pivot independently left and right, up and down, the light can be spread throughout the room or directed as you wish. The lamp also has a dimmer switch.
