Pair of Svend Aage Holm Sørensen Lamps, Holm Sørensen Edition - 1950s. Mid-Century Danish Designer. Dimensions: 17 X 28 cm, Height: 37 cm. Materials: Lacquered Metal - Brass. Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (1913-2004) is known for his lighting fixtures, which he produced himself in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Despite the success of his work on the vintage market, biographical information about this designer and his eponymous production company is scarce. Holm Sørensen is said to have designed lighting fixtures for the major Danish manufacturers Fog & Mørup and Lyfa in the 1950s, before founding his own lighting company, Holm Sørensen A/S, to produce and distribute his own designs. Holm Sørensen's style evolved considerably, with his 1950s designs closely reflecting the style of mid-century modern lighting and clearly influenced by the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements. His dimmable floor and desk lamps feature the classic tripod base, which was very popular at the time, and are reminiscent of pieces such as H. Th. J. A. Busquet's Pinocchio lamp.
