Ateljé Lyktan produces exclusive lighting in collaboration with Scandinavia’s leading designers. With the use of modern techniques and effective energy solutions, Ateljé Lyktan contributes to a better environment – both for the consumers and the world we live in.

Ateljé Lyktan is a lighting manufacturer with a deeply rooted history that goes back to the 1930s. The original business idea came about in Copenhagen when the newly graduated artist Hans Bergstöm and his fiancée Verna Norell both decided to start their own businesses. He wanted to produce lighting and she was to produce woven rugs.

In the 1960's the designer Anders Pehrson took over the business. His sense for business and eye for design were two of the leading factors in the brand’s success. It was Pehrson that gave the brand the slightly industrial feel and pushed the production to larger scales. It was also him who, in 1968, designed what was to become the brand’s most defining product; the Bumling lamp.
