CLASSIC, MODERN LAMPS 1967 and the Furniture Prize in 1977
2016 DESIGNERS Pandul is the sole licensed manufacturer of lamps designed by some of the very best and most well known Danish architects & designers: Furniture designer & architect Hans J. Wegner, Professor & architect Jørgen Gammelgaard, artist and sculptor Henning Koppel and most lamps by Industrial designer Erik Magnussen. HANS J. WEGNER > 1914 - 2007 > OPALA, THE PENDANT Hans J. Wegner was born in 1914 in Tønder, Denmark. In 1936, at the age of 22, he attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, later returning as a teacher. In 1943 he opened his own design studio and created the Chinese Chair, which, along with his 1949 Round Chair, formed the basis for many of his later chairs. The Round Chair became known simply as The Chair. While The Chair is probably the main icon of Wegner’s career, the Wishbone Chair is widely considered to be his most successful design. Hans J. Wegner was also a brilliant light designer. His pendant from 1962, “The Pendant” has been in production ever since. Both The Pendant and his futuristic Opala-series – originally designed in the seventies for Hotel Scandinavia in Copenhagen – are now manufactured by Pandul. Hans J. Wegner received many international awards for his work and in June 1997, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by The Royal College of Art in London. JØRGEN GAMMELGAARD > 1938 - 1991 > TIP TOP, VIP Jørgen Gammelgaard belonged to a generation of skillful furniture designers who all learned their craft in the time-honoured Danish apprenticeship tradition. Following his apprentice- ship Gammelgaard studied with Grete Jalk, and then became a student at the Danish Royal Academy’s furniture school, working under Poul Kjærholm and Ole Wanscher.

Scandi Navian Design Catalog
SCANDI NAVIAN DESIGN CATALOG modernism101 rare design books Years ago—back when I was graphic designing—I did some print advertising work for my friend Daniel Kagay and his business White Wind Woodworking. During our collaboration I was struck by Kagay’s insistent referral to himself as a Cabinet Maker. Hunched over my light table reviewing 35mm slides of his wonderful furniture designs I thought Cabinet Maker the height of quaint modesty and humility. But like I said, that was a long time ago. Looking over the material gathered under the Scandinavian Design um- brella for this catalog I now understand the error of my youthful judgment. The annual exhibitions by The Cabinet-Makers Guild Copenhagen— featured prominently in early issues of Mobilia—helped me understand that Cabinet-Makers don’t necessarily exclude themselves from the high- est echelons of Furniture Design. In fact their fealty to craftsmanship and self-promotion are constants in the history of Scandinavian Design. The four Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all share an attitude towards their Design cultures that are rightly viewed as the absolute apex of crafted excellence and institutional advocacy. From the first issue of Nyt Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri published by The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts in 1928 to MESTERVÆRKER: 100 ÅRS DANSK MØBELSNEDKERI [Danish Art Of Cabinetmaking] from the Danske Kunstindustrimuseum in 2000, Danish Designers and Craftsmen have benefited from an extraordinary collaboration between individuals, manufacturers, institutions, and governments. The countries that host organizations such as The Association of Danish Furniture Manufacturers, The Association of Furniture Dealers in Denmark, The Association of Interior Architects, The Association of Swedish Furni- ture Manufacturers, The Federation of Danish Textile Industries, Svenska Slojdforeningen, The Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo put the rest of the globe on notice that Design is an important cultural force deserv- ing the height of respect.

Pandul Katalog 2016 Optimize.Pdf
CLASSIC, MODERN LAMPS Designed by famous Danish Architects and manufactured by Pandul in Denmark PANDUL Pandul is the sole licensed manufacturer world wide of lamps designed by four famous Danish architects and designers: Furniture Designer and Architect Hans J. Wegner, Professor and Architect Jørgen Gammelgaard, Artist and Sculptor Henning Koppel and Industrial Designer Erik Magnussen. More architects and lamp designs may be added to the Pandul Collection if we find that the lamp designs live up to our basic philosophy: A lamp in the Pandul Collection needs to have a unique design, must be excellent for its primary purpose and be timeless in the sense that you cannot quite identify whether it was designed three years or three decades ago. Like much good music, our classic designs have no age. HENNING KOPPEL Henning Koppel, the world-famous Danish designer of the BUBI lamp, was first and foremost an artist. He was trained in drawing and sculpture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Academie Rancon in Paris, but began designing silverworks for Georg Jensen in 1945. Koppel innovated the Danish silver tradition and made Georg Jensen a leader in modern Scandinavian design. With his flowing and organic jewellery designs and sculptural silverwork, Henning Koppel was an artist of international statue with the ability to create unique shapes that elevate his designs to classics that delight generation after generation. BUBI The BUBI lamp is probably the most remarkable lamp created by Henning Koppel. The unique, organic shape of the BUBI lamp was created one sunny summer day when Henning Koppel had made a drawing of his very young grandson in the sunny garden.
