This piece embodies the designer’s pioneering approach to glare-free lighting, with its elegantly tiered shade system and refined proportions. The lamp features a beautifully aged copper top shade with a rich, naturally developed patina, complemented by its original opaline glass shades below. Notably, the glass elements are single-layered, a distinctive characteristic of the very earliest production models and a detail highly sought after by collectors. All components are original to the lamp, including the early bayonet socket house and canopy, confirming its authenticity and early manufacture. The untouched condition preserves the integrity of henningsen’s original design intent, while the patinated copper adds depth and warmth that only decades of natural aging can achieve. Both sculptural and functional, this pendant provides a soft, diffused light while serving as a statement piece within any interior—ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of early scandinavian modern design.
