About the Item

Freeform Mid-Century Modern Art Glass pendant chandelier in very dark amethyst (reads almost black) and clear heavy hand-blown glass for Orrefors by noted Swedish glass artisan Carl Fagerlund. Newly rewired to US standards. New 72” brass chain and US-sized canopy included. CARL FAGERLUND Carl Fagerlund (1915-2011)was born in Kalmar, Sweden, where he cultivated a passion for art and design from a young age. His formal education began at the Higher Art Industrial School in Stockholm, where he graduated in 1943. After earning his degree, Fagerlund worked as a drawing teacher at Solbacka Läroverk from 1943 to 1944 and then as a lighting architect at ASEA in Stockholm. In 1946, he embarked on a significant chapter of his career by joining Orrefors Glassworks. Fagerlund's work at Orrefors Glassworks was marked by his innovative approach to lighting design. He created light installations for numerous public spaces, leaving his artistic mark on prominent locations such as the Prince Eugens Waldemarsudde art museum in Stockholm, Frederiksberg Town Hall in Denmark, and the Swedish Embassy in Tokyo. His work also illuminated the halls of hotels in Copenhagen, including Hotel D'Angleterre and Hotel Mercur, as well as the General Motors headquarters in the United States and the Möllevången Church in Malmö. In addition to his public installations, Fagerlund designed a variety of ceiling and table fixtures for domestic use. His designs were celebrated for their aesthetic appeal and functional brilliance, leading to exhibitions in major cities including London, Paris, Berlin, Milan, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. His contributions to the field of lighting design were recognized with a silver medal at the 11th Triennale in Milan in 1957. Carl Fagerlund's legacy is one of artistic excellence and innovative design. His work continues to inspire and illuminate, reflecting a lifetime dedicated to the art of lighting.
