Gubi Semi Lamp Ø 30 Cm Polished Brass

The semi pendant in ø30 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. – enhance your home with scandinavian elegance and modern design.
