Carl Fagerlund for Orrefors Olive Green Glass Pendants – Set of 2 | 1960s
A distinctive and atmospheric set of glass pendants by Carl Fagerlund for Orrefors, where depth, light, and materiality merge in an iconic design language from the 1960s.
The double glass shades create a striking visual effect, where the olive-colored outer glass encloses a textured inner shade, which refracts light in a warm and vibrant play. The result is a soft and atmospheric illumination with clear depth and character.
The simple aluminum and brass mounting provides an elegant, industrial counterpoint to the organic glass and highlights the design's balance between function and aesthetics.
The set functions both as a decorative focal point and as functional lighting – ideal above a dining table, kitchen island, or in an atmospheric corner.
Selected with a focus on light, material, and visual weight.
History & Context — read more ▾
Carl Fagerlund was a central figure in Swedish lighting design in the mid-20th century, working closely with Orrefors, known for its high quality art glass.
In the 1960s, there was a particular interest in the combination of colored glass and structured surfaces to create dynamic lighting effects. Fagerlund's designs are characterized precisely by this play of light and material, where function and atmosphere go hand in hand.
These pendants are a fine example of the period when Scandinavian design moved towards a more sensory and experimental approach to lighting.
