1960s Carl Thore Perforated Black and Brass Wall Lamp.
Executed in black painted perforated metal with white-painted interior and brass hardware, this wall lamp is highly characteristic of quintessential Swedish design of the midcentury era. Unmarked.
Sigurd 'Carl Thore' Lindkvist worked for the lighting firm Luko, before joining Granhaga Metallindustri AB as Head of Sales and Lighting Design. He adopted the pseudonym 'Carl Thore' when he was presenting his lights to a client, not wanting to reveal to the customer his identity as a designer. The lights were labeled ‘Carl Thore Design’ from that point forward.
Price is per item. 3 lamps available.
