About this vintage design furniture

Multi layered pendant light by Carl Thore for Granhaga Metallindustri. This pendant has grooves along the sides projecting a decorative orange light as well as a soft neutral light downwards towards a table. Suitable for low hanging. This light came in a variety of sizes as it was released in the 1970s. This is the largest version with a diameter of 40 centimeters. Good condition with some minor scratches and a small dent on the top as seen in the last image. Standard E 27 light bulb. The real name of the designer known as Carl Thore was Sigurd Lindkvist, and he was born in 1916 in Åmal in Sweden’s Dalsland. After working for a lighting firm called Luko, in 1961 Lindkvist joined Granhaga Metallindustri, for whom he designed lights and was also head of sales, remaining with the company until he retired in around 1981. Lindkvist adopted the pseudonym Carl Thore for his Granhaga light designs on the spur of the moment when he was presenting the lights to a client who asked the identity of the designer. “Carl Thore,” Lindkvist blurted out, these being his two middle names.
