Muut tiedot
Gunnar Cyrén: "In 1967, I held an exhibition of lighting, chandeliers. I knew that when you clean chandeliers, it's a lot of work and hassle. Therefore, I thought that one should try to do something where it was easy to remove the prisms, and then I came up with this trick of making a leaf with holes that sat on a hook. It was very simple. Then I really went for it and made a very large and dominant hook, I thought it should have character.
Now it got a bit too much character. The lamp became like a fruit bud, full of thorns. In a review, Ulf Hård af Segerstad wrote that 'they do not lack character' - that was actually an understatement. I made a more modest hook. These chandeliers ended up in various embassies and other ceremonial buildings around the world."
