Carl Thore

A well-known myth is that the multi-layer pendant lights commonly known as Carl Thore lamps were produced by Fog & Mørup. The real name of the designer was Sigurd Lindkvist. He was born in 1916 in Amal in Dalsland, Sweden. He started at a lighting company called Luko. Lindkvist then joined Granhaga Metallindustri in 1961, for whom he designed lamps and was also head of sales. He stayed with the company until he retired around 1981.

Lindkvist adopted the pseudonym Carl Thore for his Granhaga lighting designs on a whim. When he presented the lights to a client who asked the identity of the designer. “Carl Thore,” Lindkvist blurted out, these are two middle names. The name Carl Thore would then appear on the lamps.

The most popular and widespread lamp designs for Granhaga Metallindustri  are the Trava lamps. Travas has been produced in several variations.
