Glass and Marble Pendant Light

A lighting collection inspired by hi-fi: Danish designer Simon Legald created this sophisticated lighting collection Amp for xml-ph-0000@deepl.internal. Glass and marble create a sense of visual lightness and sensual weight—a look that is both nostalgic and modern. The idea for the shape of the Amp pendant lamp came to him while designer Simon Legald was restoring an old radio from the 1960s at home. While searching for a replacement part for the radio, he noticed the glow of the tube amplifier. The simple, oval shape and the amp shade allude to this—as does the name Amp , the English term for a tube amplifier. The proportions of the Amp Normann Copenhagen ’s lights are carefully crafted. Normann Copenhagen , and Legald have emphasized the functional details, such as the way the shade Amp pendant lamp rests on the base. The combination of the two natural materials creates an interesting contrast between the transparent, lightweight glass and the solid, heavy marble.

Normann Copenhagen Amp Pendant Lamp: Elegant Contrasts

Simon Legald explains: & “Sometimes you can’t quite say exactly why an idea for a new object comes about. But in this case, the inspiration came directly from a radio and hi-fi equipment. This is very evident in the design of Amp . The round, transparent shape of a tube has something very special about it. I thought it would go very well with an L amp e. I chose a type of glass that is also used for hourglasses, among other things. The shape was meant to be curvy and tapered. To counterbalance the delicate glass, I chose marble. I think the two materials go well together. & quot; The Amp lamps come with a matching fabric cord. The shade can be removed without tools to replace the light bulb. The Normann Copenhagen Amp is also available as a dimmable Amp table lamp. Both versions are available with a amp shade in gold or smoky tones. The Amp pendant lamp is available with a socket in striking black marble or glamorous jade green, which emphasizes the material’s natural elegance.
