“Over the years we have made several bespoke light pieces for
our interior projects,” says Signe Bindslev Henriksen of Space
Copenhagen. “So the biggest challenge in designing the Copenhagen Pendant was to meet our own expectations in making an
equally sculptural and functional light.”
The flexibility and attention to detail of the Copenhagen Pendant is a careful consideration inspired by Space Copenhagen’s experience as interior architects. Even the flow
of light was carefully planned from the start. “The pendant is widest in the middle and
narrows at the open top and bottom to ensure that the lamp has a substantial body,
while still protecting you from looking directly into the light,” says Bindslev Henriksen.
The downwards light is even and solid, while the subtle uplight is diffused, adding to
the atmosphere of the ceiling.
“The Copenhagen Pendant is a perfect example of a classic typology of light reinvented
in an innovative and contemporary way, qualities that we value highly at &tradition,”
says Kornbek Hansen.
