Hur svenska är du?  (How Swedish are you?)

This a test.  I am figuring that if you are a full blooded Swede, living in Sweden,

you may be able to identify this object by the first picture.

Hmmm....Not sure?   OK, let me make it clearer.

There you go.  Now it should be perfectly obvious. 

Still not recognizing this ubiquitous object?  Okay.  More hints.

By now a Swede is saying, "Självklart!"  ("obviously", self + clear).

Still don't know?  So maybe you are not a Swede after all?...

This design is sooooo familiar to anyone in Sweden.  So so familiar.

 

OK, I will give you the answer.  You are going to kick yourself!

Självklart!

 

So please tell me how many pictures you needed to see before you identified this lamp. 

And also if you now live, or ever have, lived in Scandinavia.

 -- Or gone to an IKEA store!

 

(Kindly ignore the fact that this picture is repeated below.  It just wouldn't go away!)
