Brass Cylindrical Pendant Lamp by Sven Middelboe for Nordisk Solar
About the Item
Elevate your interiors with the subtle sophistication of Sven Middelboe's pendant lamp for Nordisk Solar, a rare gem from Denmark's golden age of design, circa 1960s. Model 74212, with its satin brass finish over spun aluminum, this pendant is a celebration of Scandinavian minimalism, merging elegance with functionality. Currently, we have two of these exceptional pieces in stock, offering you a rare opportunity to own a set of untouched mid-century gems.
The pendant's cylindrical form draws immediate attention. But delve deeper, and you'll find masterfully integrated louvered diffusers at both the top and the bottom. These concentric circle-designed plastic louvers not only create a captivating light play but also aid in gently diffusing the illumination, creating a soft, ambient glow in any space.
Inside, a matte white interior further optimizes light reflection, ensuring every corner of your room is bathed in a warm, inviting luminescence. Complementing its modernist design is a solid brass detail at the top, an understated yet luxurious touch, that holds the cord and enhances the pendant's refined aesthetics.
Dimensions of 17” in diameter and a height of 5.5” make it a versatile addition to various spaces - be it a chic dining area, kitchen island a contemporary living room, or an upscale restaurant. With three E26 porcelain sockets (75 watts max each), this pendant is designed for triple the brilliance, accommodating three standard base light bulbs, ensuring optimal brightness without compromising on style.
Installation is a breeze with the included 6-foot white cord and a 5.25” diameter original white-painted canopy. But perhaps the pièce de résistance of these pendants is their immaculate, new-old-stock condition. Unveiling a time capsule from the 1960s, these luminaires have remained untouched and unused, flawlessly preserved for over six decades. Their pristine state is not just a sign of their quality, but a rare find in the world of vintage lighting.
In the realm of interior design, where every piece tells a story, Sven Middelboe's pendant lamps are not just lighting fixtures; they are narratives of design prowess, history, and unmatched preservation. Illuminate your world with this unparalleled Danish masterpiece.

- "Auditorie" Pendant Lamp by Svend Middelboe for Nordisk Solar, Denmark, 1960sBy Nordisk Solar Co., Svend MiddelboeLocated in Utrecht, NLThe “Auditorie” series contains three lamps differing in size, this pendant is “Auditorie 3”, the largest one with the most shade layers. Known for its long, elegant neck and multilayered shade system, this rare model is among Svend Middelboe’s most coveted designs. This model has several common details with the Verona pendant light; it was designed with functionality in mind, specifically to spread light in the most efficient way. The inner shades diffuse light and there is no glare. The large main shade, dictates the design; the upper umbrella-like shade is connected to the stem that contains the socket. There are three more shades gradually decreasing in size. Like the Verona model, the surface on the outside is brass anodized aluminium, while the inside is lacquered white. From the late 1950s, Nordisk Solar Compagni—or simply “Solar” (as seen in adverts and catalogues from the era)—focused entirely on manufacturing high-quality lighting. They collaborated with the era’s most well-known Danish lighting designers and used their expertise in using plastic for the production of radio sets, to create exceptional lighting fixtures in the late 1950s and 1960s. Svend Middelboe’s pendants were among the best-selling models in the company’s catalogue. Danish lighting manufacturer Nordisk Solar was founded in 1919 by Jacob L. Jørgensen and Herluf Sørensen. Svend MIddelboe joined the company later, and soon became a permanent designer. The company is still well-known today on the vintage markets for its Mid-Century Modern pendants and layered lighting...Category
