Carl Fagerlund ceiling lamps
This rare pair of ceiling lamps, designed by Carl Fagerlund and produced by Orrefors in Sweden during the 1960s, exemplifies the elegant synthesis of glass and metal typical of Scandinavian modern design. The lamps feature textured glass shades with a distinctive sculptural quality—characterized by ribbed, organic forms that softly diffuse light to create a warm and ambient atmosphere.
The brass components, including the ceiling mounts and suspension rods, have developed a warm patina over time, complementing the delicate glasswork and enhancing the overall aesthetic. Designed to hang gracefully from the ceiling, these lamps provide both functional illumination and a strong decorative presence.
Produced by Orrefors, a prestigious Swedish glass manufacturer known for its exceptional craftsmanship, these lamps reflect the highest production standards of the era. They remain in very good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of age-consistent wear, which adds to their authenticity and charm.
