Lamps are one of the most important parts when it comes to decorating your home, but they can also be one of the most challenging. We have been making light bulbs for many years, and even though we always considered creating real designer lamps, we knew that we did not have the talent that it takes. So when we met the famous architect Flemming Agger by chance, and he showed us some of his drawings of the lamps, we knew that this would be a once in a lifetime chance for us to make the classic lamps we’ve been dreaming of. It has been more than three years since we saw those first sketches on a piece of paper and it has been a fantastic trip so far. We are genuinely convinced we have a lamp for everyone, and each one of them can be loved and used for many years to come. Furthermore, we make sure all the metal parts are made of recycled material, and the packaging is without any plastic.
Flemming has just celebrated his 75 years birthday; we want to honour him by launching our capelo campaign on Kickstarter, and we need your help as a backer.
