BUMLING, designed by Anders Pehrson for Atelje Lyktan. Despite earning its iconic status in the 1970s, Bumling still looks modern in today’s homes, and represents great Swedish quality and design now as then. ‘Bumling’ means boulder in Swedish, and is used colloquially to describe things colossal or otherwise unwieldy. The lamp in question was bulbous, bright green and over half a metre wide. This was the birth of Bumling, a Swedish design classic.
