Om oss
Our aim is to create well-being through good light. In close collaboration with leading architects and designers, Wästberg creates long-lasting, technologically driven, economically viable and environmentally conscious lighting. Lighting that answers to fundamental human needs, both physical and emotional, and adapts to these needs as they evolve and shift. In our 2008 manifesto Lamps for Neanderthal Man, we pointed out man’s primitive relationship to light in the form of fire. For more than a million years, fire was our only artificial light source. It frightened off wild animals, brought us together, kept us warm and made us feel safe. Above all, it was a light source that we could keep close, that we could control. Electric light has been around for little more than a century – a blink of an eye in comparison with human evolution. Today, we find ourselves trying to tame our primitive needs to meet the demands of a modern, high-tech world, where light has more or less become a world of electronics. In our overly-lit spaces – created under the mistaken notion that more light equals greater productivity – we feel exposed, small, with nowhere to go. We believe in creating modern-day fires. Light should shine for us, not on us. We also believe in lighting that answers to fundamental human needs. The need to be able to see, read and write, but also to reflect, envision and imagine. The need to be a part of a dynamic social context, but also to be able to withdraw to a personal sphere of familiarity and safety. Technology and innovation are at the heart of what we do and are crucial to providing good light. However, we understand that what’s technically possible is not always humanly preferable. To us, true innovation means making the effort to find the best possible solutions, putting equal effort into both the measurable and the immeasurable

Suspended from the ceiling, w171 Alma performs beautifully as a solitary as well as in a group – even to create an entire floating ceiling of light. Developed in collaboration with Tham & Videgård.

Based on the graceful curve of a rotated sine wave, w171 Alma is discreet yet fascinating with its sculptural feel and soft contrasts between light and shadow.

New Year's resolution from Wästberg: To save on electricity. Holocene No. 7 by Swedish designer Ingegerd Råman grew from her habit of keeping a flower at her bedside. The slim vase has a clever insert that transforms it into a highly atmospheric candleholder. Developed in collaboration with Ingegerd Råman.

New Year's resolution from Wästberg: To save on electricity. Pawson’s design for Holocene No. 4 takes the notion of the oil lantern and meticulously reduces it to its essence in terms of function, form and palette, as a container for fire, with the means to carry or suspend.

New Year's resolution from Wästberg: To save on electricity. Behind the apparent simplicity of Holocene No. 7 lies meticulous attention to lines, proportions, and space. Its subtly tapered body imparts a grace that is more felt than noticed. Meanwhile, the base's concealed extra layer creates an illusion of floating, an overall lightness that adds poetic qualities to any flower, candle, or tea light on display.

New Year's resolution from Wästberg: To save on electricity. Pawson's Holocene No. 4 is designed for indoor and outdoor use and scaled to feel comfortable in a range of applications, singly or in groups, on the dining table or a windowsill, standing on the floor or hanging from a wall.

Wästberg's wish for Christmas: Lighting without electricity. Both protected and enhanced by the brass reflectors, the flame’s light of Holocene No. 2 is allowed to play over its surroundings – an intriguing, infinitely variable dance between shadow and light.
