Description from the seller

Holmegaard – Etude pendant – Michael Bang – white opal glass – Denmark – ca. 1980

An elegant and timeless Scandinavian design object from the renowned Danish glass factory Holmegaard, designed by master designer Michael Bang. This pendant lamp from the Etude series is crafted in hand-blown white opal glass and stands as a textbook example of Danish modernism from the eighties, where functionality and sculptural simplicity come together perfectly.

The design is refined and harmoniously composed: a slender neck that transitions into a softly, broadly flaring shade. The subtly pinched middle section gives the lamp an almost vase-like, architectural appearance — a distinctive detail that Michael Bang often used to endow glass with an autonomous sculptural quality, even when it is put to practical use as lighting.

This pendant with its striking undulations functions as a diffuser. The glass is transparent at the edge, causing the edge of the glass element to be lifted outward as a glowing ring. This pendant not only directs light downward, but also serves simultaneously as a radiant light object in the room. The white glass has its effect both in the on and off state. This object is equipped with a manufacturer's sticker to ensure authenticity.

Michael Bang (1942–2013) is one of the leading designers who put Holmegaard on the international map. His designs are characterized by pure lines, balanced proportions, and an exceptional mastery of glass as a material. The Etude series is today regarded as one of his most recognizable and collectible lighting designs.

Holmegaard, founded in 1825, is renowned worldwide for high-quality mouth-blown glass and collaborations with the leading Scandinavian designers. This pendant light embodies that rich tradition and is a beloved piece among design enthusiasts and collectors of Danish glass design.

Dimensions: H 28 cm x Ø 28 cm

Weight: 1850 grams

This item is long-wired (approximately 200 cm) and has been tested to work and is ready for use. It is in excellent condition with no defects and will be shipped with smart shipping, securely packed, registered and insured.

Seller's Story

I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
