"Auditorie" Brass Pendant Lamp by Svend Middelboe for Nordisk Solar

About the Item

Step into a world of timeless elegance and innovative functionality with the "Auditorie" brass pendant Lamp, designed by the renowned Sven Middelboe for Nordisk Solar, Denmark in the 1960s. Currently, we have four of these exceptional pieces in stock, offering you a rare opportunity to own a set of untouched mid-century gems. The "Auditorie" pendant is a marvel of modern design, defined by its layered "hat-shaped" shade and meticulously crafted lower diffusers. The sumptuous satin brass finish envelops spun aluminum, illuminating your space with an incomparable warmth and sophistication. Bathing your room in a soft glow, the interior of the two larger shades is painted matte white, diffusing light in an unparalleled manner. The smallest shade interior, in matte gray, adds a subtle contrast, providing a light source that's not just beautiful but also practical. Measuring an impressive 18.5” in diameter by 10.5” in height, this pendant is the largest in the iconic "Auditorie" series and was ingeniously designed to maximize light distribution without glare. With an E26 porcelain socket, the lamp accommodates a standard light bulb with a maximum wattage of 200 watts, offering both form and functionality. A six-foot white cord and a 5.25” diameter original white-painted canopy come included, making installation a breeze. (The white cord can easily be changed to a longer length or different color.) What elevates these pendants into a category of their own is their flawless, new-old-stock condition. Preserved meticulously since the 1960s, these pieces have never been used and show no signs of wear, such as dents or scratches. Seize this extraordinary opportunity to invest in a set of "Auditorie" pendants, as much a work of art as a functional piece. Illuminate your home, not just with light but with a story—a story of Danish design excellence, mid-century innovation, and unblemished preservation. Imagine these pendants gracing your space – individually or in a cluster. Four are available, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece (or pieces) of Danish design legacy. Whether you're an aficionado of classic design or seeking to add a touch of vintage luxe to your interiors, the "Auditorie" pendant is a luminous blend of history, artistry, and illumination.

  • "Auditorie" Pendant Lamp by Svend Middelboe for Nordisk Solar, Denmark, 1960s
    By Nordisk Solar Co., Svend Middelboe
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    The “Auditorie” series contains three lamps differing in size, this pendant is “Auditorie 3”, the largest one with the most shade layers. Known for its long, elegant neck and multilayered shade system, this rare model is among Svend Middelboe’s most coveted designs. This model has several common details with the Verona pendant light; it was designed with functionality in mind, specifically to spread light in the most efficient way. The inner shades diffuse light and there is no glare. The large main shade, dictates the design; the upper umbrella-like shade is connected to the stem that contains the socket. There are three more shades gradually decreasing in size. Like the Verona model, the surface on the outside is brass anodized aluminium, while the inside is lacquered white. From the late 1950s, Nordisk Solar Compagni—or simply “Solar” (as seen in adverts and catalogues from the era)—focused entirely on manufacturing high-quality lighting. They collaborated with the era’s most well-known Danish lighting designers and used their expertise in using plastic for the production of radio sets, to create exceptional lighting fixtures in the late 1950s and 1960s. Svend Middelboe’s pendants were among the best-selling models in the company’s catalogue. Danish lighting manufacturer Nordisk Solar was founded in 1919 by Jacob L. Jørgensen and Herluf Sørensen. Svend MIddelboe joined the company later, and soon became a permanent designer. The company is still well-known today on the vintage markets for its Mid-Century Modern pendants and layered lighting...
