Carl Thore was famous for his ingenious aluminum lighting constructions, and this model, with its six shades, perfectly celebrates his design signature. The design thrives on a fascinating transformation effect between the on and off states. The individual louvers are brushed silver on the outside, giving the lamp an understated, clean, and minimalist elegance when switched off. However, as is absolutely typical of Thore's designs, the shades are painted a vibrant orange on the inside. As soon as you switch the lamp on, it unfolds its true magic: The light reflects off the colored interior, the lamp begins to glow from within, and the warm orange shines through each individual louver to create a striking effect. This optical illusion spectacularly breaks up the cool silver, bathing your room in an incredibly cozy, warm light. A sculptural design classic from Sweden, guaranteed to be a focal point above the dining table or in the living room.
