Lights made of glass and marble
Amp is a series of lights by Normann Copenhagen whose shape recalls classic valve amplifiers from the 1960s. Designer Simon Legald combines a nostalgic and a modern look to create high-quality lighting objects. The carefully worked-out proportions of the glass domes create a harmonious overall look that adds an elegant accent to any interior. As table lamps, pendant lights or chandeliers, the curvy lights fit into many settings and impress with their high-quality workmanship and simple design.
Simon Legald explains: "Sometimes you can't say exactly why an idea for a new object comes about. But in this case, the inspiration came directly from radios and hi-fi equipment, and you can see that clearly in the design of Amp. There's something very special about the round, transparent shape of a valve. I felt it would work really well as a lamp. I chose a type of glass that is also used for hourglasses, among other things. The shape had to be curvy, with a waist. As a counterweight to the delicate glass, I chose marble. I think the two materials go well together."
