Vintage Verona pendant light by Sven Middelboe, 1970s

The "Verona" pendant light was created by Sven Middelboe in the 1970s. It was originally used in public interiors but later spread to private houses as well. It was made in various versions but this is a large version in matte white powder coated aluminium and five discs. The inside of the most narrow discring is grey in order to not give too strong of a projection in the centre and instead spread a wider more even light downwards with the 4 upper layers. Rewired but with the original porcelain E27 socket for high wattage light bulbs. Good condition with only very minor scratches. Some slight wear of the paint along the edge of the top cone as seen in one image. Danish lighting manufacturer Nordisk Solar was founded in 1919 by Jacob L. Jørgensen and Herluf Sørensen and is well known today on the vintage markets for its mid-century modern pendants and layered lighting designs.
