Holm Sorensen Large Tiered Brutalist Brass Pendant, 1960s

About the Item

Danish Mid Century Modern Brutalist pendant consisting of three panels of acid treated and torch cut brass, Holm Sørensen's signature processing method to accentuate the nuances and heighten the colors in the brass and make each item unique with its own specific patina and shape. Rewired and in beautiful condition. Denmark, 1960s. Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen founded his company Holm Sørensen & Co. in the mid 1950s. He was a versatile and experimental designer who worked with many different materials, shapes and techniques. He is known to not be traditionally Danish in his work, as he was more playful and colorful than Danish designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Poul Henningsen. He developed his own technique to work with brass and copper, where he would flame cut and acid treat the metal to enhance nuances and make every lamp unique in its own right. He also worked with ceramics and produced several series of lamps, vases and decor.

  • Mid-Century Modern Brutalist Pendant Light by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen, 1960’s
    By Svend Aage Holm Sørensen, Holm Sørensen
    Located in London, GB
    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. The Danish designer Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen (1913-2004) possessed an artist eye and a very good understanding of the potential of materials, and he understood how to innovate with these. To this day, Holm-Sørensen's style as a designer addresses not only the Nordic market, but also the international interest in the designer's distinctive and experimental expression. Sven Aage was known for being able to draw sketches on almost everything: envelopes, theater programs, even tram tickets he used to sketch his vision. 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 raw finished 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...
