An exceptional and rare set of four sculptural wall sconces model 5395 by celebrated Danish lighting designer Holm Sørensen, executed in hand-formed, flame-cut brass during the 1960s. These expressive fixtures exemplify the refined Brutalist aesthetic that defined Sørensen's most sought-after designs, balancing organic forms with dramatic texture and atmospheric illumination. Each sconce is composed of layered brass leaves with deeply flame-cut, serrated edges that create a striking botanical silhouette reminiscent of a stylized tulip or unfolding flower. The warm patinated brass develops remarkable depth under illumination, while the pierced and irregular edges allow light to escape in a soft, sculptural halo, casting intricate shadows across the wall. Even unlit, the sconces function as compelling wall sculptures. The handcrafted nature of the flame-cut brass gives every example subtle individual variation, highlighting the artisanal production methods that distinguish Holm Sørensen's work from later mass-produced designs. Displayed as a complete set of four, they create a powerful architectural installation suitable for hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, or hospitality interiors. A quintessential example of Danish Modern lighting with strong Brutalist character, these sconces complement interiors ranging from Scandinavian and Mid-Century Modern to contemporary and organic modern spaces.
