This exceptional brutalist pendant lamp, model 6407, was designed by Svend Aage Holm-Sørensen for Holm Sørensen, Denmark, during the 1960s. The lamp is crafted entirely from brass and features a highly expressive, sculptural form. The shade consists of layered cylindrical elements with irregular, organically burned edges, achieved through a process of cutting and welding the metal. The raw, flame-like contours reveal warm copper tones beneath the brass surface, creating a dramatic contrast and emphasizing the lamp’s handcrafted, brutalist character. When illuminated, the lamp produces a rich, atmospheric glow, with light reflecting off the textured metal and glowing subtly through the cut edges. The result is a powerful yet intimate lighting effect, making the piece both a functional light source and a striking sculptural object. This model exemplifies Holm-Sørensen’s experimental approach to materials and form, and stands as a strong example of mid-century Scandinavian brutalism. The lamp is in a very well preserved vintage condition. The brass shows natural patina and surface variations consistent with age and the brutalist manufacturing process. As with all vintage seating, they may show light signs of use, which add to their authentic character.
