The semi pendant in ø60 brass is a distinctive lamp that consists of two quarter-circles with their backs against each other. The characteristically arched and enamelled metal shade creates a diffuse light that is ideal for use over your dining table or kitchen table, where you need extra work light. The unique and timeless appearance of the semi pendant not to mention its range of colours and sizes makes it versatile and well-suited for private and public spaces alike. Semi was designed in 1968 as a product of the creative partnership between claus bonderup and torsten thorup. It was manufactured in response to the soft and organic shapes of the so-called cosy era that dominated the danish design landscape at the time. Bonderup and thorup both wanted to manufacture a lamp that offered clean, sharp lines and a geometric shape. Their design was entered into a competition at the royal danish academy of architecture, where it won first prize. The pendant became hugely successful in the 1980s, becoming the best-selling danish design at one point. It even achieved international recognition that elevated its status to iconic.
