Erik Tidstrand (1876-1944) played a central role in shaping modern Swedish lighting design. From the moment Nordiska Kompaniet was founded in 1902 until 1941, he oversaw its lighting department, placing Tidstrand at the heart of the company from the very beginning. Tidstrand's work didn't stay confined to Sweden. His lighting designs were featured in major international exhibitions, including the 1925 Paris Expo, the 1929 Barcelona Exhibition, and the 1937 Paris World’s Fair. These events showcased not just his work, but also the refined style of Swedish Grace that dominated the era. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, his fixtures lit up some of the most admired interiors, marking him as a quiet pioneer of Scandinavian design.
