Hobo Pendant lamp - Örsjö Lightning

Hobo Pendant lamp The name Hobo refers to hobo handicraft, Småland and the beginning of the glassworks. Then tramps slept in the heat of the furnaces on the cabins and made wayward objects in curved metal wire. The materials in Hobo are opal, mouth-blown glass (blown in Mickejohan's glassworks in Örsjö) and raw brass. The glass is blown straight into the brass mold and expands to its final shape. A real interplay between the materials and a clear test of true craftsmanship. “I have sought an expression where there is a certain difference in each lamp, that each lamp becomes unique. Since the brass basket only partially controls the glass, each lamp becomes a little different depending on how much air is blown into the glass. As the glass mass solidifies at a certain moment, and is preserved, a nerve is created in the lamp, ”says Gustaf Nordenskiöld. Characteristic of Hobo is the feeling of weight and the importance of details. Two parameters that are emphasized rather than hidden. The details become clear through visible bolts and strong rope. The wall model has a suspension that can be compared to a trampoline rod in the form of a curved brass hook that carries the lamp. Here the weight becomes clear “It is as if the weight makes the shape. The lamp fails, ”says Gustaf Nordenskiöld.
