Lumafabriken

The white cubic structure features three parallel wings extending toward the water, with long bands of windows and a glass-enclosed lamp testing room at the top.

In 1930, the Kooperativa Förbundet established this factory to break the European light bulb cartel dominated by Philips and Osram, reducing standard lamp prices significantly.

The building represents early Swedish functionalist industrial architecture, designed by KFAI architects Artur von Schmalensee and Eskil Sundahl in the 1930s.

The factory complex has been renovated into modern offices under the name Luma Park, maintaining its protected status as a historical industrial landmark.

The glass-enclosed lamp testing room on the top floor served both practical purposes and acted as an advertisement, becoming a recognizable symbol of the factory.
