Specialist note


Archive documentation from the late 1950s reveals that Guariche’s Kite lamp was to be manufactured under license in the UK by Geni Products, of London. This example of Guariche’s influential design features original Swedish electrical fittings and label, and consequently may be one of the examples that were known to have been retailed, and possibly manufactured for, Nordiska Kompaniet in Stockholm, around 1960.
