Description
The Manadaly Pendant by Sigvard Bernadotte & Acton Bjørn for Nordisk Solar is an elegant example of early modernist lighting. The lamp is characterized by clean lines & quality materials. The superellipse shape of the opal glass shade is reminiscent of other Danish design icons, including the work of Piet Hein. But there's more to the story than a brilliant lamp. Sigvard Bernadotte was born Prince of Sweden, in line for the throne as King. However, Bernadotte had humbler intentions. After marrying a commoner, Bernadotte continued a successful career as an industrial designer, designing kitchenware, cutlery, lamps, & even working as an Assistant Director on the 1937 Hollywood film, the Princess of Zenda. What a life! This lamp is in good condition, with a subtle patina on the brass. If preferred, this patina can be simply be polished to a sparkling state. This lamp takes 100w max E27 light bulb & features & is fitted with 2 meters of electrical cord ready to be installed. Ceiling cover sold separately. Height: 30 centimeters Width: 15 centimeters Shipped from Copenhagen, Denmark in triple-ply corrugated cardboard box for extra security. I would gladly combine items to save on shipping.
