Lamps and Staircases at Gunnar Asplund’s Stockholm Public Library

Spiral staircase in concrete and stainless steel—within a reading room of Stadsbiblioteket’s right wing, here and at the top.
Brass door decoration—in the same theme as the stairs and lamps.
Lamps in the children’s reading section—orbiting like planets beneath the sky and horoscope ceiling.
Up-facing lamps soften the dark, rough wall materials, creating a refined atmosphere.

White “Stairs leading to stairs”—together with geometric shapes—create a spectacular view from the front entrance.

Outdoor lamps in matching design—subtle against the facade’s squared geometrical backdrop.
