Claus bolby worked as a technician in the royal danish air force. In his spare time, he was interested in art, including painting and working with wood and acrylic. Claus turned to lighting design and won a contract to produce pendant lighting for a newly built and modern church in strandby in north jutland. In 1969, the danish lighting company lyskjaer belysning took over the distribution of the increasingly popular lamps. In the early 1970s, lyskjaer was ordering 1, 000 of the most popular models a month. In 1974 cebo industri moved to a larger factory in silkeborg, most of the machines used on the cebo industri production line were built by bolby himself. During this time, bolby was also producing lamps for other leading danish lighting companies, including lyfa and nordisk solar compagni.
