Creator: Carl Fagerlund - Orrefors
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Many museums, churches and headquarters of large companies house the work of Scandinavian Modern lighting designer Carl Fagerlund. Initially an instructor of illustration, Fagerlund shifted into the world of lighting design during the 1940s with the advantage of having an artist’s eye, and today his vintage table lamps, chandeliers, wall lights and other fixtures enrich dwellings and continue to captivate collectors all over the world.

Fagerlund is best known, for the work he did at Orrefors Glassworks, a legendary glassworks in Småland, Sweden that garnered worldwide acclaim for its wares after introducing a range of decorative objects and art glass at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925. Fagerlund joined Orrefors in 1946 and designed richly intricate and provocative sconces and other wall fixtures of brass and textured glass elements. This set of wall lamps are a prime example of this acclaimed work.

These wall lamps emerge as the epitome of elegance and innovation. With a form that recalls the Art Deco movement, these wall lamps combine a brass structure with a characteristic textured glass shade. As the light sources are placed near the middle of the shades, when lit, the glass showcases its golden colour with an ombre effect. Whether turned on or off, the glass shades provide great contrast to the brass structures They stand as a testament to Fagerlund’s mastery in the realm of glass artistry.
