Many museums, churches, and corporate offices house the works of Scandinavian modernist lighting designer Carl Fagerlund. Initially a professor of illustration, Fagerlund turned to the world of lighting design in the 1940s, with the advantage of an artist's eye. Today, his table lamps, chandeliers, sconces, and other lighting fixtures enrich homes and continue to captivate collectors worldwide.

Fagerlund is best known for his work at Orrefors Glassworks, a legendary glassworks in Småland that achieved global recognition after exhibiting a range of decorative objects and art glass at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts—the massive design exhibition that introduced Art Deco to the world. Fagerlund joined Orrefors in 1946 and, for more than three decades, designed pendant lamps, recessed lighting, a range of Murano glass works, and other intricate lighting: mid-century modernism.
