Mid century pendant lamp with glass elements in the shape of ice. This beautiful chandelier was made by the famous brand Kalmar Franken (Austria) in the 1960s .
The glass is supported on 2 levels by a metal construction. The irregular shape of the glass ensures a beautiful distribution of the light.
The lamp is in beautiful vintage condition, only on the metal at the top there is some corrosion visible here and there, which is not noticeable when the lamp is hanging.
During his career, Austrian designer JT Kalmar designed lighting fixtures for many renowned architects, as well as for important institutions, e.g. the Vienna Opera and the Vienna Stock Exchange. In the last decade of his life, Kalmar developed a number of very popular lighting collections, including Tulipan (ca. 1960), Ice Glass (1960) and Atomic (1969).
Kalmar lighting can be found in prominent locations around the world, including the RMS Queen Mary 2, the Kremlin Presidential Palace in Moscow and the Burj Tower in Dubai.
