Product description
This is the iconic series of Swedish designer Carl Thores pendant light called "Trava". The Trava pendant light which was undoubtably Carl Thores best selling creation was made in two versions, three sizes and many different colors. This the medium size version in silver colored brushed aluminum and the orange inside. It consists of six circular discs directed upwards and down creating a perfectly symmetric shade. The discs have an orange coating inside reflecting a fire like glow onto the aluminum surface. This one is in unusually good condition with only some minor scratches. This is a rare version with a brushed metal top housing the socket. These are usually in plastic. Standard E27 lamp 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.
