Australian 1960s Replica of Corona Pendant Light by Jo Hammerborg

$450List Priceper item

About the Item

Jo Hammerborg's beautiful cone shaped Corona pendant was produced by Fog and Mørup in Denmark in 1963. Someone at that time in Australia took a liking to the design and had it reproduced in spun aluminium and steel, to the exact shape and size specifications of Hammerborg's design. Outwardly, these pendants appear to be Hammerborg originals and certainly date from the 1960s or perhaps early 1970s. The differences are subtle. Notably, the tabs that hold the three main parts of the light together are narrower in these lights and branch inwards to meet a ring fitting around a central bulb holder. This branch and ring arrangement does not exist in the Fog and Mørup production, which instead leaves the bulb holder hanging freely inside the light. The other difference is the reflective surface inside the steel ring. In the original this is Fuchsia or Magenta, in our Australian version it's a metallic Copper color. There are also ventilation holes around the top surface of the light, not found in the original. No matter the differences, these lights function just as the originals do and they illustrate a theme common in Australian design during the Mid-Century period the necessity of reproduction. Original European design was not routinely available within Australia due to extreme distance and relatively low population numbers, which made many imports commercially unviable. Interiors magazines at the time reported on the latest European styles and Australian designers visited Europe and brought back ideas yet unseen in Australia. Post WWII, European emigres, many trained at respected European design institutions, brought their knowledge of design and manufacturing techniques to Australia. These factors all contributed to the resourceful practice of imitation, emulation and inspiration that we find in Australian Mid-Century design.

They will be able to advise on the potential need for rewiring, bulb socket changes, or if this item is a lamp, for plug change.

Batwing Brass Chiavari Chair Gothic Green Velvet 1960s

By Chiavari

Located in Melbourne, AU

A splendid brass example of the Chiavari style first developed in the coastal town of Chiavari, south of Milan, Italy. This particular specimen is in excellent condition, with a lovely recent restoration of the upholstery, well cushioned, in a tasteful dark green velvet. The chair is in very sound condition and is of a higher quality than others we have handled - notably the shaping of the feet and the back are particularly fine. The original Chiavari chair is a delicate-boned creature in light-weight timber, designed to be both light and strong. It’s turned timber frame gave the opportunity for elaborate decoration which was popular in the mid to late 1800s. The brass version was created in the 1950s as a playful reference to the original, the brass emphasising the elaborate framework. It’s intended as a decorative chair for hallways, as a bedside chair, or can be used as a feature chair...
