A sculptural Scandinavian pendant designed by Carl Fagerlund for Orrefors, featuring the distinctive layered glass construction associated with the “Neptune” model.
A smoked glass outer shade surrounds a heavily textured clear-glass inner diffuser, creating depth and a warm, atmospheric glow when illuminated. Brass fittings provide a restrained contrast to the substantial glass form.
Fagerlund worked with Orrefors during the height of Sweden’s international influence in glass and lighting design, and his fixtures are particularly admired for integrating decorative glassmaking with functional illumination.
The layered construction gives the pendant a strong presence whether illuminated or unlit, making it especially well suited for a dining area, entry, bedroom, or other interior where the fixture can function as both lighting and sculptural design.
