Verner Panton
At the end of the sixties Verner Panton created a series of lamps for his exhibitions and restaurants. Each was based on simple spherical lines. The most famous lamp for his exhibitions turned out to be the Flowerpot pendant, named after the era of ‘flower power’.
Arne Jacobsen
Liza Minelli’s eyes have reflected in the sides of this pendant and the smoke from Frank Sinatra’s cigarette has swirled through the light. This pendant was designed for the intimate night bar in the exclusive Hotel Royal. Everything for this hotel, right down to the smallest detail was produced to Arne Jacobsen’s design and the Swan and the Egg have now gained worldwide fame.
Jorn Utzon
A long time before the Sydney Opera House was conceived, Jorn Utzon designed lamps. the best known of his design is this Utzon Pendant, which sends the warm reflected light downwards only. Not surprisingly, the shape reminds you of Jorn Utzon’s later imaginary buildings, reminiscent of sails and shells, which were indeed his inspiration. In his lamp, you see these ideas united for the first time.
Sofie Refer
Bulb is transparent lamp designed in 2000 by Sofie Refer. The lampshade, the bulb and even the wire is transparent, but the form of the bulb is ‘classic’. The reflection and the thickness of the mouth blown glass gives it a rich and vibrant life. Here we see the real strength of good glass art.
V & O: Pernille Vea & Martin Olsen
By mixing a classical shape and the boldness of the use of leather, the designers created something extraordinary when designing Corium |
