FROM IDEA TO ENTHUSIASM CREATING SOMETHING IS NOT ART. CREATING ENTHUSIASM IS. This is our credo at Nordlux and with this in mind we create innovative design products that are both exciting and advanced. We can not help it, because we love the process of advancing from an idea to enthusiasm. Fortunately, we are surrounded by people who prefer to go all the way rather than compromise. People who are not afraid to use some elbow grease as well as some mental grease, and for whom innovation is nothing new. Because at Nordlux every success story starts with innovation. Only in this way we can make sure that our products are in line with the global impulses - and maybe even one step ahead of them. Design For The People is a vision for creating cool design products at a price that allows everyone to join in. Quality and look that will last for years. This magazine published by Design For The People is also for you, who would like to be inspired to see home lighting design in a whole new light. And for you, who would like to keep up with the latest trends in lighting, such as design and materials. I hope that Design For The People will give you many new ideas. In such case, the way to the near est Nordlux dealer is never too long, just as the road from idea to enthusiasm. Have fun ... Peter Terkelsen CEO

The way to Nordic design Scandinavians have always had a special relationship with light because it varies so much depending on the season. There are only 6-7 hours of daylight in wintertime and this calls for a unique relationship with light, and an exceptional need for artificial light. For half of the year most people live primarily indoors, which is why lighting is an important part of interior design. This means that lighting’s significance goes far beyond functionality, and there is a strong emphasis on design and the experience of lighting. Denmark and the whole Nordic region therefore has great traditions in lighting design. Not surprisingly, Nordic designers are among the world leaders in this field. Design For The People (DFTP) DFTP is for all who appreciate classic as well as innovative lighting design. At Nordlux we are guided by our vision to create design products at a price that everyone can afford. Design with a Nordic twist, intended for people worldwide. Therefore we invest in the form and functionality of each and every design we produce, just as we think about people and the environment in connection with each and every solution. The timeless design of the future A lamp is not just a lamp. It unites and seduces, highlights and beautifies, year after year. At Nordlux we create products that are easy to fall in love with. Products that you will want to keep looking at and maintain your love for. This is what timeless design is about. You will only grow happier and happier with it over time. Behind every DFTP lamp there are a number of recognized Danish designers who endeavour to create lamps that embellish and seduce, where beauty and functionality go hand in hand. When we develop lamps, we also take care of the people and the environment, so that we can do our work with a clear conscience. This means that we take social and environmental responsibility every single day. From drawing the first lines of the design, up until the day the lamp is finished and put up for sale. Creating a seductive design is also about treating our environment with care. Light on Facebook and Instagram Light provides a natural meeting point. It attracts our attention and we like to gather around it. Light also provides a natural gathering point in the social media. We see this every day on our Facebook and Instagram pages, when people meet, like and share experiences, design tips and attitudes to lamp design. This demonstrates how happy people are with our Nordic design traditions and the joy of meeting people who share the same interests.

It was a design with potential to expand to a family of designs, so today the PURE series consists of a pendant, a floor lamp and a wall lamp. A family with clean lines and with unmistakable characteristics: the elegant slim top made of FSC-certified walnut wood. PURE provides a stylish simple line in interior design, and with its sleek design it easily finds its place. Also in your heart.

AMBIENCE AND SEISMONAUTS

16/06/15 15.36


Good light conditions provide good working environment Seismonaut is a Danish company that helps businesses and organizations navigate in the digital landscape. However, for navigation indoors, at Seismonaut’s office they rely on a complete lighting solution from Nordlux. A solution created by the architectural and design firm Bønnelycke mdd. The interior lighting design of a complete company office is a complex task. Creating the best lighting conditions for a maximum number of people requires an understanding of architecture and room geometry as well as of corporate culture and internal work processes. Similarly, it requires an in-depth knowledge of light and shadows, and, not in the least, of their interaction. Then, when the architect is looking for the optimal lighting solution, know-how is of course essential, in terms of both the lamps’ design and their functionality.

2015_06_16 NX-DFTP-Mag-Indh-UK.indd 52

ALBA, FUSE, MIB, NEXUS and ORBIT wer e selected to pr ovide Seismonaut with a well designed and implemented lighting solution. ALBA ceiling lamp is suitable for both indirect and direct lighting, and was chosen for the work desks. MIB was mounted on rails or on the walls in order not to take up space on desks, and ORBIT were mounted in a line on the ceiling to elegantly provide comfortable and efficient lighting.

In the meeting room NEXUS pendants were placed in a cluster over the conference table, which emphasizes the sense of community in the room and creates a feel-good atmosphere - and equally importantly: lighting that makes it possible to use a projector and a screen in the room. FUSE was locked out on the terrace where its familiar glow creates a cozy and warm atmosphere, as soon as twilight starts seeping in.

The pendant can have the same effect, being the biggest bright spot in the interior solution. Bring functionality and mood into theoom, r and choose the lighting that will enhance both of them. With the right lighting, you can transform theoom r into the universe.

Much has happened since Edison invented the incandescent bulp in 1879. An almost completely vacuumed bulb with a carbonized bamboo filament that attracted enormous attention. Today, 135 years later, the LED bulb is on everyone’s lips. It has light-emitting diodes and has no filament that can break. The LED bulb saves energy, it is environmentally friendly and has a very long life. And the best part is you get to install it in your home. Because LED lamps are not as cold as they once were, and they work perfectly for room lighting, workplace lighting and relaxation lighting throughout the home. They are energy efficient, comfortable and warm. It does not get cooler than this.

Bright, warm and nice are three words that describe the bathroom - your home’s new living space. This is where we start and end the day, but it is also the place we love to come to when when we want to take care of our well-being. The bathroom is also a symbol of relaxation, refreshment and renewal. Here we take a hot bath or a cold shower to complement good hygiene with new energy; this is where we lure morning sleepiness away and where we prepare ourselves for a good night’s sleep. All this requires suitable lighting. In other words, it is important to have a proper lighting in the bathroom. Downlights are a good solution for general lighting. For mirror lighting you should choose a solution with diffuse light. Directional creates shadows on the face, and is therefore not optimal. In the bathroom you need bright light when you do your makeup or shave, and it is a good idea to have several light sources that can even out the shadows. Wall lights on the side of the mirror is a good solution, so that light is cast on both sides of you.

THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BATHROOM USE IP LIGHTS IN OTHER ROOMS

The best solution for the bathr oom can be just as good in other rooms. IP lamps are prepared for the bathroom and can withstand moisture and water. But many other spaces deserve that same great design and functionality. Think outside the box when you think about interior design and bring the IP lamps into the game. 1.

SOCIAL LIGHTING THE MORE, THE BETTER There are lamps that should stand alone and there are lamps that should be in clusters. Both provide a unique experience. Organize the lamps in a group, use your creativity with different forms, sizes and colours.

INSIDE OUT GO OUTDOORS Outside in the open air is wher e you experience the seasons’ temperaments in terms of changing light, sounds, odours and temperatur e. And here you will also witness an authentic cheerfulness, accompanied by leisur ely chats, birdsongs and the murmuring of trees and shrubs. Here the sky is high and the air is fresh. So take your fur niture out and design an oasis in the yar d below an apple tree or on the terrace. Do not for get the pendant or table lamp that can complement the natural light or simply provide light when darkness falls. FUSE, for example, with its raw authenticity makes the indoors and the outdoors melt together.

A QUESTION OF GOOD DESIGN

When we see a good design, we are attracted by its form and function. The same way we are attracted by people - by their beauty, expression and personality. Design is continuously shaped by culture, the spirit of the time and the available technology. But what is the recipe for appealing design? How does an idea for a new Nordlux DFTP design first appear and what does the process from idea to a finished product look like? At Nordlux we work with a number of independent designers, for whom design is a broad concept. All of them have a good idea of current trends and the Nordic style, which Nordlux design is known for. And all of them are aware that our design must appeal to a broad audience. This is important when new designs and product lines are to be developed. Such development processes are always ongoing, and involve several designers who think, draw and create designs so that in the end they can present their views on the lighting design of the future - from pendants to floor, table and wall lamps. The ideas for new Nordlux DFTP designs rarely come out of the blue. Our product development is done by a skilled team that keep their finger on the pulse of design, and therefore formulate the needs and requirements for product design before the designers start doing their job. This optimizes the process and increases the chances for a potential design idea to become a popular design lamp. For everyone to enjoy. Such a process is always associated with stage fright, because although we have done our job, we are always excited to see the reactions when a new lamp is born.

It is exactly the process of creating the finished product that is a major part of the design process. Although the form and function determine whether a given lamp design will be appealing, the design idea as well as the process leading to the finished product are also essential for the design’s potential. During this process a lot can happen, many surprises lurk around the corner and many changes can be made. Materials may turn out to be unsuitable, unattainable, too expensive or not live up to quality requirements. However, when a new lamp is sitting on the shops’ shelves, the design process is complete. Yet another Design For The People is available to the people. Hopefully it is a design and a lamp that many people will find attractive and turn on.

HAPPY GIRLS MAKE THE WOR L D TURN

TURN ON FUNK. TURN ON THE LIGHT. TURN ON HOPE.

Every now and then we all have doubts whether our work benefits anything or anybody on a large scale. Enable For Life gives us the answer: IT HELPS! Read the story of a lamp that brings hope to disadvantaged girls in India.

IT WAS ERNST MICHAELSEN,

who back in 2006, got the idea for Enable For Life and a village for children in India that would help the futur e development of disad vantaged Indian girls. Nordlux Director Peter Terkelsen got the idea to allocate € 0.50 for each sold FUNK lamp as charity for the girls’ orphanage in Trankebar. This has meant a lot for Enable For Life, which is an independent, sponsor -funded aid agency with about 450 members fr om 7 dif ferent countries. And most importantly , it has given hope, joy and opportunities for the 70 girls who now live in the village. And more are on the way. “Like all charities, we rely on donations, says Enable For Life founder and chairman Ernst Michaelsen. We are different, however, in one important area - 100 % of the amount we eceive r as donations goes to the children. The administrative costs are covered in other ways, including through voluntary work.”

Ernst Michaelsen also tells us that in India girls ar e abandoned ten times mor e often than boys. The r eason for this is that the par ents must pay a high dowry when the girls get married. Besides, the sons ar e those who take care of the parents when their old age requires it. Girls ar e also extr emely vulnerable. When they end up on the str eet, they ar e often kidnapped for prostitution. “Experience shows that when you educate a man, you educate one person. When you educate a woman, you educate a whole family, says Ernst Michaelsen and emphasizes that education of women is also the most ef fective form of birth contr ol. Our goal is to pr ovide the girls with education and thus give them a future where they will be able to take care of themselves.” The organization is planning the construction of 10 houses, each designed for 7 girls and a foster mother. The first six have already been built, and the girls have alr eady moved in. Twelve girls live in each house. For Indian standards the houses are spacious and equipped with kitchens and bathrooms. Here the girls live, as much as possible, as a normal Indian family. The girls’ day usually starts at 5:30 am and does not end until night falls. It is a long day of school and other duties but the girls also have time to play.

WELL-BEING AND JOY

One sees the development potential upon entering the Enable village and while walking along the exotic lane between the banana trees that sprawl from the property’s edges right up to the group of pink-painted houses. An impr essive gr ove that cr eates both shade and a unique atmospher e in the spacious yar d. The lush vegetation in the 100,000 square meters of land is due to the large amounts of rain during the wet season combined with high average temperatur es. But it is not only the vegetation that thrives in the village. There is a lot of life and activity under the trees. The girls’ joy is obvious, they thrive, learn and evolve, so that they can create their own futur e. This is the whole purpose of Enable For Life.

When you choose a FUNK lamp from Nordlux, € 0.50 will be donated to Enable For Life and the girls in the village. enable.dk
