Discount Pamono Le Monde Pendant Lamp attributed to Carl Thore for Granhaga Metallindustri, Sweden, 1960s

Designed by Carl Thore and produced by Granhaga Metallindustri in Sweden during the 1960s, the “Le Monde” pendant lamp is a striking example of Scandinavian lighting design — and this particular version in rare orange makes it even more collectible. Most commonly found in copper or brushed aluminum finishes, the vibrant orange lacquer on this piece elevates its sculptural quality and injects a bold, optimistic energy into any space.

The lamp’s spherical form is composed of stacked, curved metal bands that create a layered effect. Light filters through the gaps between the bands, while the inner cylindrical diffuser softens the glow, providing ambient illumination with minimal glare. When lit, the orange hue intensifies, casting a warm and inviting light.

In beautiful vintage condition, the lacquered finish remains vivid, with minor signs of age consistent with the piece’s era. As dealers, we see this as an exceptional opportunity to acquire a less common colorway of a beloved Carl Thore design.

Highly architectural yet playful, “Le Monde” fits effortlessly into both minimal and eclectic interiors. Whether featured above a dining table or anchoring a corner of the room, it brings that rare combination of mid-century functionality and artistic presence.
