Evergreen

â&#x20AC;&#x153;An echo from the age of industrializationâ&#x20AC;? Jens Praet & Vibeke Skar (Designers)

PH. PEDER TORGET

Evergreen (Design 2010) 9 Evergreen is a collection of height adjustable pendant lamps. In designing this new contemporary series, Vibeke Skar and Jens Praet refer strongly to industrial evergreen elements -creating a new light medium that emphasises the golden age of global industrialisation and the beauty of forgotten classic design icons. Evergreen consists of a series of lamps of different sizes, available in either black or white. The mouth blown glass lampshades are sandblasted, creating a diffuse kind of transparency. The iconographic hanging system consists of pulleys that are used to adjust the height, and a wall fastener for the lamp and its cable. A ceiling socket is supplied as a hanging option. The accessories are made from satinised nickel. Evergreen creates a dynamic yet highly functional light experience, featuring an iconic design that suits almost every kind of space.

Diva

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a Diva, this dazzling lamp sculpture is the centre of attention in any roomâ&#x20AC;? Peter Natedal & Thomas Kalvatn Egset (Designers)

PH. SIMEN SKYER

15 Diva (Design 2009) Diva is a set of wood laminated floor and pendant light sculptures. By making a contemporary light object the two young designers, Thomas and Peter, wanted to pay their respect to the proud Norwegian heritage of wood lamination craftsmanship, and at the same time challenge or reinvent how this material can be used. Diva’s strong yet soft and almost feminine character emerged from experimenting with different curve codes, from which two distinct sets of patterns occurred. The lamp’s outer frame consists of a set of thirty two gently curving walnut or oak laminated plywood slices set around two wooden cylinders. The inner parts consist of a slim metal stem supporting a solid mouth blown frosted glass globe. The floor lamp’s outer frame can be turned in two directions, creating two different sculptures. Diva creates a warm yet dynamic atmosphere when it is turned on, and when off it remains an essential and uniquely aesthetic décor object in any room.

PH. toM gustAvseN

Nova (Design 2007/2008) 27 Nova is a pendant lamp series at the interface between light design, handcraft and art. the mouth blown shade of the lamp is made out of three layers of glass, transparent, white, transparent. Nova consists of three different lamp models each of which has an individually formed pattern of transparent glass pieces added manually to each lamp after the main body was blown. every lamp is unique as a result of this manual pattern making. the lamp series also has an innovative and patented hanging solution, which makes it easy to change the bulb even for a novice. the Nova series is inspired by the dusky light from the stars seen in the Nordic sky on a clear night. thus, the Nova series consists of three round light stars: ophelia, callisto and Miranda. Nova emits an even and soft interior light regardless of bulb type used. the lamps are suited for public and private interior spaces, and become interesting objects of art in a room even when the light is switched off.

Designer: Anu Moser Anu Moser (born 1945) is a highly recognized swedish ceramic artist and product innovator. she lives and works on the small Island of Donsö outside gothenburg, where ocean and sky become central natural elements of inspiration in her design. Her works have been presented around the world in a great number of exhibitions. the mixture of innovative function and the aesthetic features of simplicity, harmony, softness and yet strictness in form, are repetitive themes in her design. During recent years Anu has focused her attention on the combination of lighting design and art. Among her famous and credited previous work is the Moser pendant designed for Louis Poulsen Lighting, Denmark in 2001/02. “the creative process of arts and crafts has always played an essential role in my life. I have been drawing and painting as long as I can remember, and I started with ceramics when I was 15. During recent years light design, optimal illumination and glass have become a great fascination for me to work with. the idea behind the Nova series has been to use advanced glass techniques of the finest quality glass to create a group of playful, beautiful and contemporary “flying light stars”. the idea of the hanging solution came to me while working in the woods where I noticed a claw like tool used for grabbing timber. this inspired me to create this industrial looking detail of functional innovation from the same basic concept.“

Moo

“Our tribute to the Norwegian Moose” Trond Svendgård and Ove Rogne (Designers)

PH. SiMeN SkyeR

Moo (Design 2008) 33 Moo is a full scale wall–mounted Norwegian light moose head. Moo may be used both for indoor and outdoor decoration purposes. The figuratively shaped lamp body is made of poly–resin material, which gives a smooth and transparent flow of light. The bulbs placed inside the horns add an extra element of soft, sparkling and translucent light effect to the lamp. The inspiration behind the Moo lamp was found in northern Norway, –in the breathtaking scenery of Hamarøy, where both of the designers have summer houses. Here the moose is frequently seen passing close to the houses and even over the lawns. The designers hope Moo will stand out as a post–modern kitch trophy, making the viewer smile happily as they recognize this “king of the Norwegian forest”.

Dokka (Design 1954) 45 Dokka is a small pendant light with a clean profile. it is a genuine piece of european post war design history: in 1954 this functional light icon was the first norwegian lamp ever to be awarded the highly regarded Golden medal at the milan triennale. the lamp, also known as “pendel s/10053”, was produced and sold by the norwegian electricity company sönnico (oslo) for many years. Dokka became one of the best selling norwegian pendant lamps ever produced, until the day sönnico closed down its lighting production and sales of the lamp came to an abrupt end. in 2007 northern lighting decided to relaunch this design classic, taking care to preserve the main shape and features that originally made it such a well–loved light.

“Bender rises seemingly impossibly from the ﬂoor, bending its way from the wall socket to the lampshade” Morten Kildahl (Designer)

PH. DaMian HeiniscH

PH. toM gustavsen

Bender (Design 2008) 51 Bender is a large floor decor lamp that also works well as a reading lamp. the organic shape of the lamp starts at the floor with the textile wire going from the wall socket towards the lamp base. From there the base bends and curves its way up from the floor, all the way up to the lampshade. the oversized shade element gives the lamp its recognizable personality and creates a large and focused spotlight. Bender has a matt powder coating that gives the aluminium and steel surfaces a warm touch and sophisticated look. the lampshade is fully adjustable in all directions, making it well suited for a comfortable and illuminated reading experience. Bender is inspired by the often overlooked, but indispensable, workhorse of plumbing: the humble pipe. Bender grew out of a desire to utilize one of the simplest elements of production while still creating a lamp with personality and humour.

Big Mama represents more than simple illumination of space. Big Mama does light up a room, but at the same time it gives the space character and personality. its shape tells us intuitively more about its function. simple, direct… with its iconic and super classical shape, there is no doubt this is a lamp. And yet at the same time the strong, dominant and sculptural character of the object resembles that of an item which does not need to possess a mere function in order to justify its existence.

Oslo Wood (Design 2006) Oslo Wood is a studio lamp with a tripod base. the shade includes a revolving shade piece, which gives the possibility of exciting angles of light in the room. the lamp gives an upward solid indirect lighting effect as well as a warm and diffuse direct light via the shade. Oslo Wood spreads light in the same way as seen in the forests around Oslo. the beams of light become diffuse upon passing through the shade, mimicking the contours of city light illuminating the sky on a dark winter night, filtered by the trees dominating the ground below. the Oslo Wood lampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indirect upward lighting effect relates to the somewhat stronger contours of light that reaches above the treetops.

Groggy fits well next to a chair or a sofa and allows the user plenty of space for the arm. Groggy is a new addition to Tom Stepps’ Blueman Collection of lighting and furniture designs. The Blueman Collection consists of, and expands, the ideas and products that Tom Stepp dreams of having in his own home, and which he therefore creates for himself. The name Groggy relates to the slightly oblique shape of this object, with a base that almost falls over sideways, yet the lamp remains in an upright position.

Berg

“The fascinating shapes of our great nature represent elements of irregularity and structure – basic ideas which I transformed into this design object” Gerhard Berg (Designer)

Berg (Design 1967) 99 Through the lamp series Berg the designer Gerhard Berg expresses natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richness of form and lack of regularity. The Berg shade elements have a rectangular prism shape, and are comprised of acrylic pieces placed together in complex, irregular patterns, rich in contrast and depth. The acrylic elements are formed in different heights. The shapes are fragmented through sandblasted and transparent acrylic pieces. The Berg was originally made in 1967 by Gerhard Berg for his own lounge.

Scheisse

“Goodbye light bulb” Hans Bleken Rud (Designer)

PH. simen skyeR

Scheisse (Design 2008) 105 scheisse is a large pendant lamp. The lamp pays its respect to the traditional incandescent light bulb, which, with its warm light and good colour reflection, has given light to our households for so many years. The classic light bulb is one of man’s most important inventions. Unfortunately this bulb is inefficient, which creates challenges in our threatened environment. scheisse is a blend of art and industrial design, an experiment with light and shadow as well as positive and negative shapes. scheisse creates a distinct shadow and sculpture in its environment. Wherever placed, scheisse will hopefully stand out as a true icon for all light lovers.

Designer: Trond Svendgård Trond Svendgård is a highly awarded gourmet chef, born in Rognan, norway. “as a chef you have to think about curves, forms, details, colours, tastes, consistences and contrasts in each creation. To use this “forced” creativity and artificial finesse in other areas than cooking, is a great satisfaction to me. as we chefs often use to say: “keep it simple”, the simple is often the best. The Snowball lamp is a result from this. Be my guest!”
