The Opal Lamella pendant was designed in the 50s by the Danish Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen. Opal glass can do something special in light, and the internationally recognized lighting designer has chosen opal glass for Opal Lamella to create a particularly warm glow. The luminous glass core of the pendant is surrounded by a sculptural metal crown, and the luxurious expression is further emphasized by the top in solid brass. Beautiful indirect lighting, both in the form of a single pendant in the kitchen, in the bedroom or in a cozy nook in the living room, and at least as elegant when three Opal Lamella pendants float side by side over the dining table.
Choose from several beautiful colors 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.
