Died and gone to Retro Heaven

Well I have died and gone to retro Euro heaven ... and it is all here for us to window shop till our hearts are content. At Classic Modern Vintage Design they have it all .... including these babes, wow momma ...

According to those who know they are a rare pair of 1960s/1970s cone-shaped Carl Thore pendant lights with purple and burnt ochre surfaces.

A rarely seen version of the much-loved 1960s Danish light design by Swedish architect Carl Thore, these vintage multi layered pendants have a cone-shaped heart skirted by the classic Carl Thore double layer with its coloured interior faces that reflect upwards and downwards respectively onto the glossy brushed aluminium surface of the split cone when the lamp is lit.



One of the pair sports a cool lilac-purple and silver colourway, while the other has a fiery combination of burnt ochre and gold. Personally I am in love with the lilac ... how bout you ...

I so see these in a clean, fuss free environment, think beach house complete with anodised drinking cups from the kitchen .. you know like Nana use to have.

And then there is this ....

A classic vintage Danish modern pendant light from the 60s/70s in brushed aluminium and orange. The lamp's two lower central sections have a glossy bright orange lacquer finish to their inner faces which casts warm, coloured light onto the silvery aluminium when the bulb is lit.

Oh my, oh my. Desire ! In the right spaces these lights so have a contribution to make. A modern classic for sure. One day I might just have a low slung 60's L shaped house that might demand I get it one of these ... or a funked up beach shack just yelling 'get me one now'. A girl can dream ... best Le.
