Vintage Pendant Lamp • Semi Pendel • Thorup & Bonderup • Fog & Mørup • 1968

Beautiful, clean-lined pendant lamp designed by Claus Bonderup & Torsten Thorup, manufactured by Fog & Morup in Denmark around 1960. This beautiful, elegant piece has a smooth shape reminiscent of a water droplet. An iconic piece of mid-century Scandinavian design, it is made from white lacquered metal with a white interior. The shape of the lamp allows it to emit a bright, wide light, making it perfect above a dining table but also suitable for use anywhere else in an interior. No dents or warping, it is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of use consistent with age, preserving a beautiful patina. Bonderup and Thorup wanted to produce a lamp with clean, clean lines and a geometric shape. Their design was entered into a competition at the Academy of Fine Arts' School of Architecture and won first prize. Semi Pendel was a huge success, becoming the best-selling Danish design by the end of the 1970s, gaining worldwide recognition and iconic status. • Description: Scandinavian pendant light - Space Age. • Designers: Thorsten Thorup & Claus Bonderup. • Manufacturer: Fog & Mørup. • Model: Semi Pendel. • Material: Metal. • Manufactured: 1970-1980. • Origin: Denmark. • Condition: Very good, used, with very slight signs of ageing. • Dimensions: ∅ 38 cm - H 18 cm. • Weight: 1 kg. • Socket: E27.
