Modular Typ 505 lamp by Curt Fischer for Midgard, 1960s
By Midgard, Curt Fischer
Located in EVERDINGEN, NL
A TYP 505 wall mounted lamp, based on the iconic TYP 113. This modular lamp was produced with 3 different arm lengths, 3 types of (rotating) lampshades and a choice in type of joints.
The lamp is in good condition, rewired and all parts working and rotating. The original lightswitch is also still present and working.
Curt Fischer is well known for his innovative designs and still regarded as one of the greatest 20th-century inventors. At the time, just after WW1, recovering from the war, people worked long hours until late in the evening. The then-typical lamps would only cast light from the ceiling, causing the shadow of the worker’s body and head to cast shades over their projects. For an inventor like Curt Fischer, who had transformed horse-drawn coaches into mobile radio...

Gunnar Asplund GA7 Pendant Lamp Mouthblown Opaque Glass, Designed in 1930´s
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Värnamo, SE
GA7 is a classical globe luminaire and consists of a mouthblown, three layered opaque glass.
Originally designed to enlighten the corridors of the basement at the Woodland Cemetary.
The frosted glass in collaboration with the centered light source creates a uniform, general and diffuse light, but with an opening in the glass to also create a direct lightdistribution.
GA7 is manufactured as a fixed luminaire, but can also be hanged from cable.
Details in either brass or coated.
Erik Gunnar Asplund.
Erik Gunnar Asplund (22 September 1885 – 20 October 1940) was a Swedish architect, mostly known as a key representative of Nordic Classicism of the 1920s, and during the last decade of his life as a major proponent of the modernist style which made its breakthrough in Sweden at the Stockholm International Exhibition (1930).
Among Asplund's most important works is the Stockholm Public Library, constructed between 1924 and 1928, which stands as the prototypical example of the Nordic Classicism and so-called Swedish Grace movement. It was particularly influential on the proposal submitted for the competition for the design of the Viipuri Library in 1927 by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, who regarded Asplund as his mentor.
Another important work is the extension of the Gothenburg Courthouse Extension building which Asplund started on 1913 and finished 1937 - it shows his transformation from neo-classical to functionalist architect, a transformation in parallel with other European modernists like Erich Mendelsohn.
Asplund collaborated with architect Sigurd Lewerentz...

1960s Pendant of opaline glass by Erik Gunnar Asplund for Atelje Lyktan, Sweden
By Erik Gunnar Asplund, Ateljé Lyktan
Located in København K, 84
The "Parachute" pendant, designed by the eminent architect Erik Gunnar Asplund for Atelje Lyktan in Sweden during the vibrant 1960s, is a captivating embodiment of mid-century modern design ethos. Crafted from frosted opaline glass adorned with chains of matte green metal, this luminaire stands as a testament to Asplund's ingenuity in merging industrial materials with innovative forms.
At first glance, the pendant's name, "Parachute," evokes notions of weightlessness and suspension, echoing the graceful descent of a parachute in mid-air. This choice of nomenclature subtly hints at the design's intention to evoke a sense of airy elegance and fluidity.
The pendant's material composition is crucial to its aesthetic appeal and functionality. The frosted opaline glass diffuses light...
