Table Lamps are in excellent condition, considering they're around 60 years old.  There is a vintage patina to the brass metal, some scratches, but the glass is vibrant, travertine base in excellent condition, harp and shades all good.  

Beautifully designed with golden and amber coloured glass, granting the lamps a classy appearance. The original company branding is still present on the bottom of each travertine base. 

Sørensen's designs are highly collectable and desirable.  If can be found, he designed sconces with the same glass motif as on the table lamps.

Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (1913-2004) is known for his self-produced lighting designs dating from the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Despite the desirability of his designs on the vintage market, there is a lack of biographical information on the designer and his eponymous manufacturing company. 

It is speculated that Holm Sørensen designed lights for well-known Danish lighting manufacturers Fog & Mørup and Lyfa in the 1950s, before establishing his own lighting company, Holm Sørensen A/S to produce and distribute his own designs. 

Holm Sørensen’s style varies greatly, with designs from the 1950s truly reflecting the mid-century modern lighting  style, with clear influences from the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements. His attenuated floor and table lamps contain the classic tri-pod base that was popular at the time, referencing such designs as H. Th. J. A. Busquet’s Pinocchio Lamp (1954).

From the late 1960s onwards, Holm Sørensen’s style changed utterly. His designs diverged from colorful, geometric table lamps and floor lamps, to pendants with unfinished brass and copper surfaces. These pendant lamps showcase Holm Sørensen’s interpretation of the Brutalist style.

Although there is a dearth of information available on the designer himself, many of Svend AAge Holm Sørensen’s designs supply a robust market for his modernist and brutalist designs which are sought by vintage lovers in Denmark and around the world.
