.
The Bor wall lamp [model V9419] is a rare 1980s design attributed to two greats of the era, Verner Panton and Ettore Sottsass, produced for IKEA during a more experimental design phase.
Its nickel-plated metal shade projects from a circular base, with a sculptural handle-like fin or horn that adds both function and visual flair. The lamp casts a focused, adjustable light from a single E27 bulb, balancing utility with expressive form.
Merging Panton’s futuristic minimalism and Sottsass’s postmodern boldness, the Bor reflects an unexpected meeting of Scandinavian precision and Italian playfulness. A collectible example of IKEA’s 1980s venture into high-concept design.
NOTE: Price is for the pair
