Original handmade glass shade. Rare piece.
Carl Thore (1916-99) was born in Amal, Sweden. After working for a lighting firm called Luko, he joined Granhaga Metallindustri in 1961. There he designed lights and was also head of sales, and where he remained working until his retirement around 1981. The real name of the designer known as Carl Thore was Sigurd Lindkvist.
Lindkvist adopted the pseudonym Carl Thore for his Granhaga light designs on the spur of the moment when he was presenting the lights to a client who asked the identity of the designer. “Carl Thore,” Lindkvist blurted out, these being his two middle names. After that Granhaga lights were embellished with a small label on which the words “Design Carl Thore” were printed in a handwritten-style font.
