sweden’s Pholc blends art into stylish lighting—and living

瑞典設計品牌Pholc成立於2015年，但超過半世紀以來，它體內 流着會發光的血——前生是瑞典南部傳統照明品牌，自1962年開始生 產燈具，不過今日有全新理念及品牌形象。

Pholc來自瑞典南部一個叫Småland的地區，由一對夫妻Maja及 Samuel Norburg主理。Småland字面意思是small land。原來設計不 一定來自大城市，這個寧靜地區多年來都是瑞典品味搖籃。這裡玻璃 製品廠多的是，手指隨意指一指，就是一所可以追溯到十八世紀的玻 璃工房。這裡也是眾多瑞典家具設計師的故鄉，包括他們的國民設計 師Bruno Mathsson，你不熟悉Mathsson都一定見過他筆下的家俬，甚 至買過抄他款的家俬。很多瑞典古老家具廠仍在用櫸木和白蠟木造可 以坐一世的椅子。順便提一提，Ikea也是在Småland成立的。

Småland有另一優良傳統，就是他們瑞典南部人以勤勞著稱，經 驗豐富之餘要求又嚴格。有這種品牌文化，Pholc跟全部來自瑞典的 設計師合作，成品便都非常北歐非常瑞典。自Monika Mulder以她的 Mobil燈贏了瑞典Elle Deco設計獎，Mobil就成為Pholc的招牌作，一燈 風行。

Swedish designer brand Pholc has been illuminating the world for nearly 60 years, even though it was only incorporated in 2015. Evolving from its previous incarnation as a traditional lighting brand in southern Sweden dating back to 1962, it continues to shine with new ideas under a different brand image. Founded by couple Maja and Samuel Norburg, Pholc hails from the southern Swedish province of Småland (small land), proof that high design doesn’t always come from big cities. This tranquil area has been a cradle of Swedish style for years. Glass manufacturers are aplenty here, with some workshops dating back to the 18th century. The region is also home to many Swedish furniture designers, including national icon Bruno Mathsson, whose works are well known and have inspired other furniture designers. Beech and ash are still used widely in many classic Swedish furniture plants here, including iconic Ikea. Småland is synonymous with hardworking, experienced and meticulous artisans, including those at Pholc. A case in point is Pholc’s signature product Mobil, which earned its designer, Monika Mulder, the Elle Decoration Swedish Design Award.

Strangely, though, this “designed in Sweden, made in Sweden and awarded in Sweden” creation was actually inspired by New York. Mulder had in mind a simple and functional lamp for a New York loft. She blended the black finish on many of New York’s balconies with the lights on the Brooklyn Bridge to deliver a unique Swedish design.

apollo, by broberg & ridderstråle 系列有多種顏色，可以單獨使用，亦可以配搭不同顏色，掛高掛低起落有致。 Available in a range of colours, it can be used stand-alone, or in a mix of colours and composition.

Romb, by broberg & ridderstråle 肉桂色系加上瓦通條紋，令Romb座檯燈俊朗剛健。 the cinnamon tone and rippled effect give it a masculine appeal.

不過世事奇妙，這個出自瑞典設計師瑞典品牌瑞典製造瑞典得獎的 燈，靈感卻來自紐約。Mulder開始幫Pholc設計Mobil時，只想要一盞可以 在紐約閣樓上使用、好看簡潔又好用的燈。設計師想到紐約那些黑鐵騎樓風 光，以及布魯克林大橋上圓形路燈散發出來的夜色。Mobil就是結合這兩種 紐約重要元素，成就一盞瑞典/北歐設計。Mobil最正之處是那些發光波波可 以擰來擰去，因應需要調校位置。不過看上去又一體成形，乾淨簡潔優雅。

發光藝術

北歐人比較內斂，不過瑞典人在北歐多國中又比較開心鬼馬。Mulder 跟Pholc的另一個合作，同樣展示了她的瑞典式鬼馬。Bounce表面是低調金 屬物料加一個個圓渾發光波波，這些表面上嚴肅簡潔的元素好鬼馬地連接一 起，一個又一個半圓變成一個又一個波浪層層疊，搶眼跳躍。設計師建議所 有能容得下長檯的家，上面吊一盞Bounce就堪稱完美。

Kandinsky吊燈的靈感則來自同名俄羅斯畫家Wassily Kandinsky上世 紀二十年代的抽象圓圈畫，渾圓波波與穿插其中的發光長矛飾演燈的主角。 設計師Mats Broberg及Johan Ridderstråle將Småland特有的吹玻璃技藝盡 情發揮，把度身訂造的光源融入玻璃波波之中，無縫接合。燈光從手工吹 製的煙燻玻璃中散射出來，未開燈時它已經是一幅畫，開燈後就是一種獨特 氛圍。

Romb是Kandinsky，Broberg＆Ridderstråle這對瑞典組合剛剛為 Pholc設計的座檯燈。平日他們用好多瓦通紙來砌建築模型，便忽發奇想不 如用瓦通紙來砌一盞燈。Romb結構非常簡單，用瓦通紙摺成一大一細菱 形，上大下小。上面的大菱形當燈罩，下面的細菱形當燈座。無論是燈頂還 是燈座，Romb都可以透射出別緻光線。當然，推出市面的Romb不是瓦通 紙造，換上堅固耐用又易清潔的金屬物料。Broberg＆Ridderstråle希望這盞 燈未開時都像一件雕塑。這就是Pholc的理念：透過燈光將藝術融入生活。

Mobil’s pendants can be turned every which way to form a variety of desired compositions, yet remain one cohesive, elegant form with clean lines.

A BouNcY, whIMSIcAl SPIN

Scandinavians have a reputation for being relatively reserved, but the Swedes may be the playful lot among them. This is apparent in Bounce, another Mulder creation. opal glass globes hanging off the tips of understated metal arches look straight-laced and minimalistic on their own, but when many pendants are added, they provide a bouncy and whimsical spin—perfect hanging above an oblong table.

The Kandinsky, on the other hand, was inspired by the abstract circular paintings of 20th-century Russian artist wassily Kandinsky. Its form consists of a long spear piercing a sphere. Designers Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle celebrate Småland’s tradition of hand-blown glass with this piece, seamlessly shaped custom-made smoked glass spheres that glow. It’s an art piece in its own right, and its soft diffused light defines the mood of a space.

Romb is a table lamp designed by Broberg & Ridderstråle. The duo experimented by utilizing rippled cardboard, a material used mostly for making architectural models. The Romb design is simple, with two rhombus forms of different sizes stacked together to cast light upward and downward. The final product is not made with cardboard, but with durable and easy-to-clean custom-pressed steel. Broberg & Ridderstråle intended it as a sculpture, in tune with Pholc’s ethos of blending art into stylish living through illumination.

EdgE, by MoNikA Mulder 未開燈時見到Edge的圓潤線條已經心情舒暢。 the smooth silhouette of the light is soothing, off or on.

bouncE, by MoNikA Mulder 燈如其名，結構簡潔但線條跳脫。可因應家居環境選擇波波數量。 Choose the number of pendants to create a bouncy light for your home.
