Model "E1782" Floor Lamp by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen for ASEA, Sweden 1950s
-
Description
Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen was a Danish designer who is best known for his wide collection of light fixtures. A licensed ornamental metalworker, Holm-Sørensen started his design career in the 1950s, and many of his designs feature metal surface with different ornaments and perforations.
The designer sketched on everything: envelopes, theatre programmes, even tram tickets. Some remained sketches and ideas, but others he brought to life in the form of lamps. Thanks to a combination of imagination, talent and vision, Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen created some of the most distinctive models of the 1950s, including this standing lamp. While the unique ‘feet’ will be the first to catch the eye, the materials are just as interesting. The body is composed of brass and black-lacquered metal, making sure that each material stands out in its own right.
This construction makes it look light, balancing the thicker shade. Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen possessed an experimental, yet balanced understanding of materials, which is clearly traceable in this model. The overall impression of the design is simultaneously futuristic and essentially mid-century modern.
The Swedish company ASEA manufactured this lamp with utmost care for its quality. The company was among the most renowned Swedish lighting manufacturers during the mid-century era, working with some of the most well-known Scandinavian designers. This floor lamp shows the great success these collaborations brought by.
