About the Item
This rare ceiling lamp, attributed to Carl Fagerlund and produced by Orrefors in Sweden during the 1950s, is a notable example of mid-century Scandinavian lighting design. The lamp embodies the refined aesthetic of Scandinavian modernism, combining both functionality and high-quality materials. It features a brass suspension system that supports a textured glass shade, designed to diffuse light softly and elegantly. The glass surface of the shade is adorned with a rippled pattern, which enhances the interplay of light and shadow, a characteristic feature of Fagerlund’s lighting designs for Orrefors.
The brass chains that support the glass disc add both structural and decorative elements to the design, contributing to the lamp’s floating appearance. These chains create a light and airy look, while the brass provides a contrasting warm tone against the textured glass. The craftsmanship and careful material selection reflect the era’s focus on durability and aesthetic refinement, ensuring that the lamp remains a lasting and visually striking piece.
Orrefors, a renowned Swedish glassworks company, was celebrated for producing high-end glass objects and lighting fixtures. Their collaboration with designers like Carl Fagerlund resulted in lighting pieces that not only illuminated spaces but also functioned as works of art. The lamp reflects the company’s commitment to craftsmanship, with its combination of finely worked glass and brass materials.
This piece is an excellent example of mid-century Scandinavian lighting design, showcasing the seamless integration of materials and a timeless design. The lamp has a diameter of 41.5 cm (16.3 inches) and an adjustable height of up to 120 cm (47.2 inches), making it a versatile fixture that can be adapted to suit different ceiling heights and interior spaces.
