This floor lamp appears for the first time in a 1976 IKEA catalogue in a slight different version. It was named Funka. The rod was made in 2 parts.

ALDA

These lamps were also sold by ALDA from Sweden. Unfortunately, no information can be found about it. There is a good chance that ALDA produced these lamps for IKEA. For all we know, they could have sold the old IKEA stock… Time will tell. Judging from the label and an internet search, they didn’t produce that many lamps. Do you know more? Please let us know.

Uno Dahlén

Unfortunately no information can be found about a designer whit that name. 2 writers with the same name, one born in 1941 and the other (Uno Dalén) in 1920 and deceased in 2006. Dalén and Dahlén are both names used in Sweden.

IKEA

IKEA, originally an acronym for Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd, is a multinational group headquartered in Delft, the Netherlands. The company was founded in 1943 in Älmhult, Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad (30 March 1926 – 27 January 2018), who was only seventeen years old at the time.

After several years of mail-order sales, IKEA opened its first full-scale store in Sweden in 1958. International expansion followed during the 1960s and 1970s, with the first stores opening in Norway (1963) and Denmark (1969). In 1973, IKEA entered new markets in Switzerland, Germany and Japan, marking the start of its rapid expansion across Europe and beyond.

In the Benelux, the first IKEA store opened in 1978 in Sliedrecht, the Netherlands. Belgian stores followed in 1984, with locations in Zaventem and Ternat. From the late 1970s onwards, IKEA became a familiar presence throughout Europe, combining large-scale retail with a strong focus on functional, affordable design.

Alongside its in-house design teams, IKEA has collaborated over the years with a number of well-known designers and studios, mainly for furniture and limited collections. These collaborations helped introduce contemporary design ideas to a broad audience, while remaining compatible with mass production. Designers who have worked with IKEA include, among others, Verner Panton, Tapio Wirkkala, Gillis Lundgren, Knut and Marianne Hagberg, Karin Mobring, Noboru Nakamura, Sarah Fager, Ehlén Johansson, Sabine Marcelis, Hanna Klarqvist, Tatsuo Konno, Carl Öjerstam, Magnus Elebäck, Hella Jongerius, Bent Gantzel-Boysen, Uno Dhalén, Ilse Crawford, Piet Hein Eek, Tom Dixon, and Virgil Abloh.

It should be noted that IKEA products are frequently misattributed online to famous designers. Claims that certain IKEA lamps or furniture were designed by Ettore Sottsass or his studio are incorrect and not supported by IKEA or catalogue documentation.
