Pair of Glass and Brass Wall Lights by Carl Fagerlund, Orrefors, Sweden, 1970s

This pair of wall lights features thick, textured glass panels mounted on patinated brass backplates. The glass is richly molded with an organic, almost architectural relief that catches and diffuses light in a soft, layered way. The warm tone of the brass adds depth and contrast, giving the lamps a balanced and distinctly Nordic modernist character. The lights are identical and intended as a matching pair.

Produced in Sweden during the 1970s, these wall lights were designed by Carl Fagerlund for Orrefors. Fagerlund’s lighting designs often explore the expressive potential of molded glass combined with restrained metal structures. Orrefors, primarily known for its art glass, applied the same high standards of craftsmanship and material quality to its lighting production during this period.

Mounted as a pair in a hallway, living room, or bedroom, these lights bring a calm, atmospheric glow and a strong sense of material presence. They work equally well as accent lighting or as sculptural elements on the wall, adding depth, mood, and a clear mid-century modern identity to a space.
