Sven Middelboe Verona Hanging Lamp, 1960s

This beautiful lamp was designed by Preben Dahl for Hans Følsgaard Belysning in the 1960s. Little is known about this designer until today, except that he designed a handful of lamps, including this beautiful geometrically designed one. The lamp is part of the Symfoni lighting series, consisting of ceiling lamps and pendant lamps made of white and blue/grey lacquered metal in a harlequin-like pattern. The lamp is made of several layers of lacquered steel that are bent into a shape like a diamond. In our opinion, it is also a gem among Mid Century designer lamps...

The lamp has a thick iron arm with cast iron beginning and end. The enamel green shade is white at the inside for as much light as possible. 2 pieces in stock.

A “Verona” hanging lamp by Svend Middleboe for Nordisk Solar. White lacquered metal shades and new white plastic cord.

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...
