About the Item
Svend Aage Holm Sørensen: Danish Mid-century Modern Menorah in Steel and Brass,
Circa 1960s
This elegant steel and brass menorah, designed by the Danish master Svend Aage Holm Sørensen, is a striking example of Scandinavian Mid-century Modern design. Dating from the 1960s, it beautifully encapsulates the movement's core principles: a dedication to clean lines, functional form, and a harmonious balance of materials.
The menorah is a powerful reinterpretation of a sacred object through a distinctly modern lens. It is raised on four subtle feet that elevate a central column, from which seven brass cups rise in a graceful demi-lune or half-moon shape. The use of two contrasting metals—the dark, sturdy steel and the warm, reflective brass—creates a sophisticated interplay of color and texture. The design is both simple and sculptural, with the flowing curves of the candle holders providing a visual counterpoint to the linear base. This piece is a testament to Sørensen’s ability to imbue functional items with an artistic and spiritual quality, all while adhering to the minimalist aesthetic of the era.
Svend Aage Holm Sørensen was a prominent figure in Danish design, celebrated for his innovative lighting fixtures and metalwork. The 1950s and 60s were a golden age for Danish design, as craftsmen and designers, inspired by a philosophy of creating beautiful and accessible objects for everyday life, rose to international prominence. Sørensen's work, often marked by its unique forms and high-quality materials, contributed significantly to this global appreciation. Though primarily known for his lamps, his smaller decorative objects and ceremonial pieces, like this menorah, exhibit the same commitment to refined craftsmanship and thoughtful design that made his work so iconic. This menorah, marked with the simple 'Denmark' stamp, serves as a testament to the country's celebrated design heritage and Sørensen's enduring legacy.
Mark: Impressed mark to underside 'Denmark'.
