About the Item

This striking pendant lamp was produced in Sweden in the 1950s. The shade, featuring an asymmetrical diabolo shape, is crafted from red lacquered metal and beautifully perforated with small dotted holes throughout. Each perforation is accented with a circular brass ring detail, adding a refined touch of craftsmanship. With its elegant yet playful design, this piece looks striking both when lit and unlit. The dimensions of the shade itself are: Height: 29 cm / 11.42 in Diameter: 18.5 cm / 7.28 in The current drop down cable is apr. 100 cm / 39.37 in but can be shortened or replaced by a longer cable if desired. The pendant is in very good original condition. The original red lacquered with minimal scratches and very minor paint losses, not really disturbing or particularly noticeable when the piece is installed. The original acrylic ceiling canopy with some signs of wear but can be easily replaced. Other Scandinavian Modern designers working in the same era include Paavo Tynell, Hans-Agne Jakobsson, Hans Bergström and Harald Notini.
