The designer brothers Uno & Östen Kristiansson are known for their lighting fixtures and mirrors and were particularly active from 1950 to 1970 in Sweden. They were prolific designers with a clear design aesthetic, easily identifiable as "Modern Scandinavian." Although there is little biographical information about the duo, their works are highly appreciated by vintage enthusiasts and much sought after on the vintage market today.
Uno Kristiansson was born in 1925 and Östen two years later in 1927. Little is known about their training, but it is assumed that they spent their early years in southern Sweden. It was probably their father, who ran his own furniture company (Vittsjö Furniture, launched in 1919, named after the Swedish village where it was located) who taught them the trade.
In 1950, Uno Kristiansson founded his own factory, Luxus, also located in Vittsjö. He produced indoor and outdoor lamps, furniture, and mirrors, designed by the two brothers. Their collections were launched in Sweden and across Europe in 1950. In 1968, Luxus presented a collection of lamps with brightly colored lampshades that perfectly captured the spirit of the 1960s. They are said to have been designed by the renowned Finnish textile artist Marjatta Metsovaara (1927-2014).
