Sculptural floor lamp in asymmetrical design, created in the 50s by the internationally recognized Danish lighting designer Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen. In its elegant construction, the Silhouette floor lamp beautifully stages the indirect light that also characterizes other iconic lamps of the time. Silhouette adds character to the surroundings with its distinctive, well-balanced stand and indirect lighting, which is achieved through reflection from the small upward-facing light source against the wide, slanted metal shade. The result is a timeless study in light, lines and asymmetry, with added details in solid brass. Choose from several beautiful color combinations, from solid to multi-coloured, in Warm Nordic's exclusive silk-matt color quality, which ensures an extraordinarily beautiful and durable surface.

Svend Aage Holm Sorensen
Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (1913-2004) is known for his self-produced lighting designs dating from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Despite the desirability of his designs on the vintage market, there is a lack of biographical information on the designer and his eponymous manufacturing company.
It is speculated that Holm Sørensen designed lights for well-known Danish lighting manufacturers Fog & Mørup and Lyfa in the 1950s, before establishing his own lighting company, Holm Sørensen A/S to produce and distribute his own designs.
Holm Sørensen’s style varies greatly, with designs from the 1950s truly reflecting the mid-century modern lighting style, with clear influences from the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements. His attenuated floor and table lamps contain the classic tri-pod base that was popular at the time, referencing such designs as H. Th. J. A. Busquet’s Pinocchio Lamp (1954).
From the 1960s onwards, Holm Sørensen’s style changed utterly. His designs diverged from colorful, geometric table lamps and floor lamps, to pendants with unfinished brass and copper surfaces. These pendant lamps showcase Holm Sørensen’s interpretation of the Brutalist style, which was popular from the 1950s to the mid-70s. Originally coined by the Swedish architect Hans Asplund, the style was internationally espoused by many iconic designers, including Le Corbusier.
Although there is a dearth of information available on the designer himself, many of Svend AAge Holm Sørensen’s designs supply a robust market for his modernist and brutalist designs which are sought by vintage lovers in Denmark and around the world.
