During the 1960s, the company went all in working exclusively with the art glass, employing it in every sconce, flush mount and chandelier produced. This tiered chandelier exemplifies both the craftsmanship and artistry of Kalmar. Glass tiles shaped like staggered "sticks" are arranged at alternating depths in three concentric tiered rings around nine lights.
