Product description
This is a classic pendant light by Carl Thore for Granhaga Metallindustri made in the 1970s. It consists of several metal rings of different diameters creating a wide and soft light projection downwards over a table and a decorative light effect from the sides at the centre opening. The light has been restored with several coats of satin dark yellow paint, brand new light bulb socket and a 2 meter long white fabric cable. The high gloss silver reflector ring has been repainted inside with a strong orange color giving it an even stronger glow around the centre of the shade than the original. This is a restored light from the 1970s and small imperfections will be found at close inspection. Standard E27 light bulb socket. 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.
This item is repainted so the surface is good but you can tell that it is a lamp from the 1970s.
