Acrylic pendant light/chandelier by Claus Bolby for CEBO Industri. Denmark 1960s

A large circular pendant light in casted acrylic resin. This light/chandelier projects a soft light downwards over a table as well as upwards towards the ceiling. Along the sides the light shines through the yellow acrylic decorations displaying a psychedelic pattern of glowing bubbles. The pendant hangs from a chain and attaches to the ceiling with a brass cup. Good condition with only minor signs of wear. Standard e27 light bulb socket. Claus bolby worked with a casted and died acrylic mass forming it into transparent pieces of art. As the acrylic hardens it creates bubbles and patterns making every piece slightly different in shape, texture and tone. Bolby was born in 1944 and started working with lighting design and production in his early 20s. He remained active in the field until he passed away in 2009. He was not one to dwell on the past and was amused to discover that his 1960s light designs had become popular collectors’ items and were undergoing a thriving trade in the vintage design market. Claus bolby was the founder and chief of design for the danish lighting producer cebo industries.
