Ranka – Örsjö Belysning
The series is inspired by the Swedish word vinranka (grapevine), evoking the winding movements of plants – something clearly reflected in the lamp’s organic and graceful form. Ranka is produced by Örsjö Belysning in Småland, where craftsmanship, sustainability, and precision are at the core of the brand’s production.
Proportions, colours, and use cases
The Ranka ceiling lamp is available in two sizes with either five or seven light sources – Ranka 5 and Ranka 7. Ranka 5, measuring 82.7 cm wide and 97.8 cm high, is well-suited for smaller spaces, while Ranka 7 offers a more striking presence in larger rooms. With its sculptural character, it fits perfectly above a dining table or in open areas where light interacts with architectural features, such as living rooms or entryways. Both models have a 250 cm textile cable and are made of metal with suspension wires that enhance the airy design.
Ranka comes in olive green and white – colours that influence the overall impression. The olive green version highlights the lamp’s natural inspiration and offers a soft yet prominent expression, while the white version blends in with a more understated aesthetic. Regardless of the colour, Ranka is a clear example of how form and function work together in the craftsmanship of Örsjö Belysning – made in Sweden with a focus on sustainability, precision, and material quality.
Jonas Bohlin – the designer behind Ranka
Jonas Bohlin is one of Sweden’s most respected designers, known for combining function, material sensitivity, and architectural presence in his work. With Ranka, he has created a ceiling lamp where nature’s organic forms are translated into a lighting solution with strong identity. Ranka is a tribute to the asymmetry and movement of nature, infused with careful engineering and high-level craftsmanship.
Its construction ensures an even distribution of light regardless of the number of sources. It suits both residential spaces and commercial settings such as hotels and restaurants, where lighting complements the architecture.
