Each sconce showcases the refined elegance and craftsmanship for which fagerlund and the swedish glassworks of orrefors are celebrated. The thick, ice-like glass diffusers display an extraordinary organic relief pattern, capturing and refracting light in a beautifully atmospheric way. When illuminated, they emit a warm, golden glow that enhances the depth and complexity of the glass. One of the most charming and distinctive features of this design is the pair of small, star-shaped brass pins that secure each glass shade to its backplate. These “stellate” buttons are not merely functional: they add a subtle decorative accent, perfectly in keeping with fagerlund’s poetic approach to detail and proportion. The gently curved brass backplates present a rich, natural patina, offering a warm contrast to the crisp transparency of the glass while underlining the timeless scandinavian aesthetic. A refined and atmospheric pair of wall lights—beautiful examples of 1970s scandinavian design, ideal for adding both sculptural presence and soft luminosity to any interior.
