Böhlmarks Havana Pendant

A rare three-light ceiling pendant produced by Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in Stockholm, documented in the company's catalogue from 1928 to 1935. This pendant features a wide, shallow dish shade in warm Havana-tinted glass, sandblasted and with subtly engraved decorative details. Supported by an oxidised brass stem, it is adorned with an elegant spray of curling foliate tendrils, designed to hold cut-glass prisms. The original prisms remain intact and are included for anyone who wishes to use them.



Designed under the watch of artistic director Harald Notini, who during his tenure drove the company's design office forward and produced what were considered at the time to be ground-breaking and distinctive fixtures, ranging from the most elegant Swedish Grace of the 1920s and the strictly functionalist aesthetic presented at the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, to what would later come to be defined as the Swedish Modern aesthetic of the 1940s and 50s.
