A striking vintage Sommerso 1960s glass table lamp, handmade and signed by Swedish glass artist Ove Sandberg for Kosta, Sweden. The lamp is distinguished by its rich deep orange-amber coloration and the refined depth created by the Sommerso glass technique. Multiple layers of contrasting coloured glass are carefully immersed within clear crystal glass, creating a sense of depth and visual movement while keeping the individual layers distinct. The result is a beautifully sculptural piece that is both understated and sophisticated. The substantial glass form catches and reflects the light beautifully, while the intense amber-orange tone gives the lamp a warm and atmospheric presence. Its restrained Scandinavian silhouette allows the craftsmanship and colour of the glass to remain the focal point. A particularly elegant example of Swedish studio glass, equally suited to a mid-century interior or a contemporary collection of decorative arts. Designer: Ove Sandberg. Manufacturer: Kosta, Sweden.
