This rare collector's item was designed by the renowned Danish architect and designer Bent Karlby for the manufacturer Schrøder-Kemi. Karlby, primarily known for his organic mid-century designs, ventured here into the realm of expressive pop art. The lamp's distinctive feature is its unconventional materiality and form: it is crafted entirely from high-quality plastic. The visual structure builds from bottom to top – the lower shade is strictly square and accentuated by a striking black stripe, while the body is pure white towards the top. The pendant lamp's full design sophistication is revealed as soon as it is switched on. Contrary to the cool appearance of the material, the white plastic glows with a wonderfully warm light from within, creating a soft, atmospheric ambiance. A rare Danish design object that immediately catches the eye with its graphic lines and is ready to use in your home right away.
