The light is documented in "Haus & Garten- Frank & Wlach" and in the Kalmar catalog from 1953 and 1960. In 1925 Josef Frank and Wlach founded the furniture store "Haus & Garten" which was taken over by Kalmar in 1938. In 1933 Frank emigrated to Sweden and from 1934 he worked for the Stockholm company "Svenskt Tenn". Lit.: (1): "Haus & Garten- Frank & Wlach", Martina Wallner, p.293. (2): Kalmar Leuchtenkatalog 1953 and 1960 About Kalmar: Founded in Vienna by Julius August Kalmar in 1881, Kalmar first specialized in the production of handcrafted objects of cast bronze. After the turn of the century, Julius Theodor Kalmar, son of the original founder, studied under the renowned Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann. In the following years the company realized modern lighting concepts and designs. Kalmar worked together with the Austrian Werkbund and the most important Austrian architects like Josef Frank, Oskar Wlach, Oswald Haerdtl, Clemens Holzmeister, Ernst Plischke, and Oskar Strnad. Kalmar used traditional materials like glass, bronze, brass, and wood. His designs, including this chandelier, lacked ornament but favoured instead a purist aesthetics. Kalmar produced lightings of great craftsmanship, high quality workmanship, and timeliess design.
