Rare Ceiling Lamps by Carl Fagerlund, 1950s

Creator: Carl Fagerlund
Offered by: Studio-Schalling-SE

Description
This set of ceiling lamps, designed by Carl Fagerlund and produced by Orrefors in Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of Scandinavian Modern design. The lamps feature textured glass shades with a distinctive bubbled surface, which creates a captivating diffusion of light. The cylindrical glass panels are mounted on a brass structure, with brass fittings providing a subtle contrast to the transparent glass elements, highlighting the sculptural nature of the design.

Fagerlund’s expertise in glassmaking is evident in these lamps, where form and function are harmoniously integrated. The brass rod that extends from the ceiling canopy contributes to a clean, streamlined silhouette, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the lamps. When illuminated, the textured glass produces a warm, shimmering effect, adding a soft ambiance to the space while showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship of Orrefors, a renowned Swedish glass manufacturer.

The lamps are in good vintage condition, with only minor signs of wear consistent with their age and use. The glass remains clear and intact, free from visible cracks or significant damage, while the brass components have developed a natural patina over time, further enhancing their vintage appeal. These lamps are a testament to Fagerlund’s ability to create functional yet artistic lighting pieces that elevate any interior.
