RARE Vintage IKEA SÖRE Floor Lamp by Jon Karlsson | New Old Stock, Discontinued

A rare and sought-after find for collectors of vintage IKEA. This is the SÖRE floor lamp, a discontinued model designed by Jon Karlsson for IKEA around 2011. A beautiful example of Scandinavian Japonisme, offered here in exceptional New Old Stock condition.

Design & Influence The SÖRE lamp features a delicate rice paper shade that casts a warm, diffused glow, supported by a minimalist black steel tripod base. Its organic, lantern-like form is a clear nod to Isamu Noguchi's iconic Akari light sculptures, yet it retains a unique, modern simplicity characteristic of its designer, Jon Karlsson.

A Collector's Item While many similar paper lamps exist today, the SÖRE is a specific, documented IKEA design that has been discontinued for years, making it increasingly difficult to find. This item is true New Old Stock (NOS) —it has never been assembled and remains in its original packaging with instructions. The box shows minor shelf wear, attesting to its vintage journey. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of retired IKEA history in "as-new" condition.
