Danish Brutalism in Cast Iron & Coloured Glass
A bold and characterful wall sculpture by Svend Aage Holm Sørensen for Dantoft, Denmark — circa 1960s. Combining a heavy cast iron framework with irregularly shaped pieces of vibrant coloured glass, this piece exemplifies the raw geometric power of Danish Brutalist design at its most expressive.
Originally conceived as an exterior architectural feature for 1960s–70s buildings, it now makes a commanding interior statement. The deep black iron frame has been professionally repainted, restoring its dramatic presence. The coloured glass elements are original and fully intact, catching and scattering light beautifully across the wall.
Labelled by the maker: “Dantoft, Danish Design” — a certified piece of Danish design history.
