Swedish architect Yngve Ekström is primarily recognised for his high-quality wooden furniture. However, there are exceptions in his impressive repertoire. The acrylic table lamp ‘Tulip,’ launched in the early 1970s, is one of these. Despite his general aversion to plastic in furniture, he couldn’t resist using acrylic for this charming lamp.
