This is a classic pendant light by Carl Thore for Granhaga Metallindustri, Sweden late 1960s. Copper colored brushed aluminum with an orange reflector ring. It gives a soft wide spread shine downwards over a table as well as a decorative orange sine from the slit behind the reflector ring. Good overall condition with some minor scratches as seen in the last images, but no dents. Bottom plastic glare protection grid is in perfect condition.
The diameter is 40 cm and hight 20 cm. It takes a standard E27 lightbulb.
The real name of the designer known as Carl Thore was Sigurd Lindkvist, and he was born in 1916 in Åmal in Sweden’s Dalsland. After working for a lighting firm called Luko, in 1961 Lindkvist joined Granhaga Metallindustri, for whom he designed lights and was also head of sales, remaining with the company until he retired in around 1981. Lindkvist adopted the pseudonym Carl Thore for his Granhaga light designs on the spur of the moment when he was presenting the lights to a client who asked the identity of the designer. “Carl Thore,” Lindkvist blurted out, these being his two middle names.
I try to make the pictures reflect the true look, color and condition of the piece. If you have any questions or want additional photos please send a PM before buying.
