AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Scandinavian Brutalist design hanging – abstract sculptural – 60s/70s – model 55 – Nordic studio style

A powerful and sculptural Scandinavian pendant from the Brutalist design period (ca. 1960–1975). This expressive piece is characterized by its rough, cast texture and architectural construction, where abstract shapes and relief come together to form almost a miniature sculpture. It is made of a silvery metal alloy with a rough, brutalist texture, likely executed in pewter (tin alloy), as commonly used in Scandinavian design from the 60s–70s.

The organic D-shape and the play of open and closed spaces give the piece a strong visual depth. The back bears the model number “55”, indicating a design from a small atelier or small-series production.

With its generous dimensions and solid construction, this is a pronounced statement piece that fits perfectly within a modernist or Scandinavian design context.

Dimensions: Chain length: 68 cm

Pendant:
* Height: 5.9 cm
* Width: 4.0 cm
* Depth: 1.3 cm

* Total weight: approx. 80.7 grams

This object is in excellent pre-owned condition and will be securely packaged, sent by registered mail with tracking and insured delivery.

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.
