Manhattan Floor Lamp
Manhattan has the shape of a drinking glass and the name tips its hat to the drink of the same name. The inspiration itself is a cocktail of three parts. The exhibition 100 drinking glasses in Milan, the launch of the Philips halogen lamp and a product ordered for a restaurant called Spångbergs in Växjö.
Reading lamp with foot and stand in brushed stainless steel with one or two articulated glass cups. Choose and combine clear glass
with frosted horizontal stripe and in clear glass with frosted vertical stripes.

DESIGNER
GUNNEL SVENSSON
Gunnel was born in Lammhult and grew up with the family furniture store, Svenssons.
Always surrounded by design led her to study art at The Atlantic Collage in Wales. After that , she moved to Italy and enrolled at Scuola Politécnica di Design in Milan where she studied industrial and interior architecture in Denmark
Her studies paid off, and at the age of twenty, Gunnel was able to take on the role of managing exhibitions and product design for a company in Bad Salzuflen in Germany. With responsibility for over a hundred exhibitions throughout the country she planned and designed the exhibitions stands.
Returning to Sweden , for over 20 years, she designed with Svenssons Möbler before starting Belysningsbolaget in 1993. The new company´s name proved unpronounceable in English speaking markets. So the streamlined Bsweden was born.
Success came quickly. Within a year, Bsweden won the British Industry Award for Gunnel´s Ghost lightning series. Since then, Bsweden has won the Utmärkt Svensk Form, the Blueprint Award, Wan Award ant the Elle Deco Design Award tree times.
