SCULPTURAL GLASS WALL LIGHT BY SVEND AAGE HOLM-SØRENSEN FOR HOLM-SØRENSEN & CO., DENMARK, 1960S

THIS EXCEPTIONAL WALL LIGHT WAS DESIGNED BY SVEND AAGE HOLM-SØRENSEN AND PRODUCED BY HOLM-SØRENSEN & CO. IN DENMARK DURING THE 1960S. THE DESIGN COMBINES THE EXPRESSIVE, SCULPTURAL CHARACTER OF HOLM-SØRENSEN’S WORK WITH THE RICH COLOURS AND MATERIAL QUALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH DANISH MID-CENTURY DESIGN.

THE LAMP IS COMPOSED OF THICK RECTANGULAR PIECES OF COLOURED GLASS IN DEEP AMBER, BROWN AND VIBRANT GREEN TONES, ARRANGED AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS WITHIN A TEXTURED METAL FRAME. THE IRREGULAR COMPOSITION CREATES A STRONG ARCHITECTURAL RELIEF, GIVING THE LAMP AN ATTRACTIVE SCULPTURAL PRESENCE EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT ILLUMINATED.

WHEN SWITCHED ON, THE LIGHT FILTERS THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF GLASS AND CREATES A WARM, ATMOSPHERIC DISPLAY OF AMBER AND GREEN LIGHT ON THE SURROUNDING WALL. A RARE AND HIGHLY DECORATIVE EXAMPLE OF DANISH LIGHTING DESIGN THAT FUNCTIONS EQUALLY WELL AS A LIGHT SOURCE AND AS AN ILLUMINATED WORK OF ART.
