J.T. Kalmar Pendant in Amber Glass and Leather, Austria, 1970s
This exceptional ceiling lamp, produced by J.T. Kalmar in Austria during the 1970s, exemplifies the refined material experimentation and modernist elegance characteristic of the period. The piece features a hand-blown amber-tinted glass shade with a conical silhouette, seamlessly accented by a natural leather band encircling the widest section of the lamp, balancing between industrial precision and organic warmth.
This pendant embodies the Austrian postwar design ethos, where craftsmanship met modern living aesthetics. Kalmar, a family-run Viennese lighting manufacturer with roots in the late 19th century, became internationally known for its collaborations with architects and for bringing artisanal glasswork into contemporary interiors.
Perfect as a statement piece over a dining table, in a mid-century living space, or as a focal light in a minimalist interior, this pendant’s sculptural form and rich materiality lend both sophistication and warmth.
