ABOUT PRODUCTID 18153
This wall sconce designed by Per Lütken for Holmegaard is an example of Danish functional art from the latter half of the 20th century. The shade is crafted from transparent, hand-formed glass adorned with striking swirls in amber and golden brown. The glass presents an irregular, asymmetrical silhouette with a distinctive ridge at the top—a testament to 1970s Scandinavian modernism. Its surface gleams with a glossy finish and gentle textural nuances that highlight the swirling patterns suspended within. The mounting takes the form of a single, matte metallic bracket placed at the top. The piece remains in very good condition with no cracks; a minor, stable flake by the mounting point does not compromise its overall visual appeal.The sconce encapsulates an era when manual craft and formal experimentation set the mood of domestic interiors. Each piece bears the unique signature of the artisan—glass with organic, unrepeatable patterns and gentle contours, inviting one to dwell on light, reflection, and materiality. The interplay between translucent color and surface conjures the feeling of Scandinavian dusk: light filtering through amber streaks gently disperses against the wall, as though the sconce promises a quiet moment at home.In a mid-century modern interior, the sconce could be mounted against a minimalist wall surface, such as warm wood veneer or subtle plaster. It may be paired with sculptural lighting or a display of glass and ceramic vessels on nearby shelves. The lamp would serve especially well as an understated highlight in a reading nook or entrance hall, where its softly diffused reflections accentuate the serenity and individuality of the space.
