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.
