Exquisite pendant in a rigorous design, created in 1950 by the Danish lighting master Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen, who enjoys great international recognition. Together with the simple design language, the metal shade ensures a light expression and beautiful direct lighting, which comes into its own above the dining table and kitchen table or any other place in the home that calls for beautiful lighting design. A nice detail is the ring in solid brass, which completes the classic look. The pendant is available in two variants, which can live together or separately. A solid color model that lights up in all its simplicity, and a more eye-catching striped model that occupies the space as if it had been given a nice dance dress for the occasion. A refined design statement from the 50s that appears at least as vibrant and tasteful today.
The lamps are available in Warm Nordic's exclusive silk matt color quality, which ensures an extraordinarily beautiful and durable surface. The pendant is available both in a solid color and in a more eye-catching version with stripes.

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.
