List of products by designers Svend Aage Holm Sørensen

The Danish designer Svend Aage Holm Sørensen (1913-2004) is known for his self-produced lighting designs from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Despite the timeliness of his designs on the vintage market, there is a lack of biographical information about the designer and his eponymous manufacturing company.

It is assumed that Holm Sørensen designed lamps for the well-known Danish lighting manufacturers Fog & Mørup and Lyfa in the 1950s, before establishing his own lighting company, Holm Sørensen A/S to produce and distribute his own designs.

Holm Sørensen's style varies considerably, with designs from the 1950s truly reflecting the mid-century modern lighting style, with clear influences from the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements. His muted floor and table lamps contain the classic tripod base that was popular at the time, referencing designs such as J. A. Busquet's H. Th. Pinocchio Lamp (1954).

From the 1960s onwards, Holm Sørensen's style changed completely. His designs range from colourful, geometric table and floor lamps to hanging lamps with unfinished brass and copper surfaces. These hanging lamps present Holm Sørensen's interpretation of the brutalist style, which was popular from the 1950s to the mid-1970s. Originally invented by Swedish architect Hans Asplund, the style has been adopted internationally by many iconic designers, including Le Corbusier.
