Why We Love It
The Semi Pendant is a unique pendant lamp, based on two quarter-circles put together, back-to-back. It's distinctive arch-shaped, enamelled metal shade creates a diffused, cone-shaped light, ideal over a dining table or kitchen work surface. With its lightness of form, unique timeless design and range of colours and sizes, the Semi Pendant is extremely versatile and well suited to both private and public spaces. The Semi Pendant was designed in 1968 as a product of the creative partnership between Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup. Reacting against the soft organic forms, the so-called cosy era, that was dominating Denmark at the time, Bonderup and Thorup wanted to create a lamp that incorporated sharp, clean lines and a geometric shape. Their design was submitted for a competition at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture and won first prize. In the 1980s the pendant achieved great success and became, at that time, the best-selling Danish design and gained worldwide recognition and iconic status.

- The striking curves of the shade expand effortlessly from the vertical line of the wire to the suggested infinite horizon of the shade.
- The wide flare of the Semi Pendant ensures light is cast broadly across a space, enabling it to act as a primary light source - and its simple yet spectacular form makes it the perfect focal point in any room.
- Metal shade available in 3 sizes and 11 finishes, including three new color options inspired by the distinctive interior palette of the seventies. The trio of new finishes feature high-gloss finishes on the outer shade, and an off-white matt interior, creating contrast and maximising the spread of light.
