AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ceiling light "Symfoni" (Symphony), a Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian design masterpiece designed by the Danish designer Preben Dal (often spelled Preben Dahl) in the early 1960s. It was manufactured in Denmark by the renowned company Hans Følsgaard Belysning. Design Details and Rarity:
Geometric Structure: It is composed of lacquered metal facets arranged in a complex, angular geometric pattern that echoes origami art. This arrangement diffuses light softly, eliminating direct glare.
Red Striped Version: Most surviving models feature neutral colors (such as gray, dark blue, or plain white). The inclusion of a vibrant red stripe on the central plane makes this exemplar particularly unusual, rare, and highly sought after by vintage lighting collectors.
Approximate overall dimensions when suspended - 84 x 40 x 40 cm
