This refined five-light composition demonstrates Fagerlund’s masterful understanding of proportion, material contrast and atmospheric light. Each substantial shade is executed in thick, hand-crafted Orrefors art glass, featuring a deeply textured surface that refracts and diffuses light with remarkable softness and depth. When illuminated, the glass produces a rich, sculptural glow that elevates the surrounding space.

The architectural frame is executed in solid brass with elegantly restrained lines, complemented by warm teak accents integrated into the arms. The interplay between the organic tactility of the glass, the richness of the teak and the luminous quality of the brass creates a composition that is both sculptural and sophisticated.

Fagerlund’s lighting designs for Orrefors are increasingly sought after for their craftsmanship, material integrity and timeless Scandinavian modernism. This piece stands as a strong collector’s example — refined, balanced and highly decorative without excess.

An ideal statement fixture above a dining table or in a curated mid-century interior.
