More information

Arkitekterna Erik och Tore Ahlsén, främst kända för Årsta Centrum i Stockholm, formgav också möbler och inredningar. Armaturen ”Pia-lampan” ritades omkring år 1940. Den ovanliga golvmodellen som genom sin karaktäristiska profil fick namnet "Napoleon vid Nilen" tillverkades på 1940-talet i en liten upplaga med gjuten bronsfot, sannolikt blev det färre än 10 exemplar utförda. Modellen formgavs ursprungligen av Tore Ahlsén för KF. NK övertog modellen då KF enligt uppgift ansåg att tillverkningskostnaderna blev för höga. Sedan 1970-talet tillverkar Gärsnäs golvlampan men nu med svart gjutjärnsfot och denna variant har gjorts i stora serier.
