Revised Design Classic

Normann Copenhagen, our Danish design favorites, have just announced that they are introducing a steel version of their highly popular and award winning Norm 03 lamp. Originally designed by Britt Kornum in 2003, Norm 03 is a wonderfully sculptural, self-assembly lampshade designed with simple and organic principles in mind. It comes with as many as 39 pieces but no tools or glue are needed for assembly and luckily it’s easy to put together. Attractive, functional and affordable, Norm 03 in its standard form has quickly become a Danish design classic and the steel version is bound to become equally desirable.

Britt Kornum initially designed Norm 03 whilst studying Furniture and Space Art at The School of Architecture in Aarhus, Denmark as she explains: “Originally, Norm 03 was an assignment at the School of Architecture. However, it had to ripen before becoming a reality. After a while I had to evaluate the design and came up with the idea of using strips to create a sphere. By using paper strips it was possible to create the interesting pattern of waves. Within a short time I had developed the first prototype, but to reach the perfect shape I had to do several experiments. Norm 03 is now shown around the world, and it’s amazing to experience one’s idea becoming an actual product”. Look below to take a first look at Norm 03 in steel and find out about some other lifeiscarbon® favorites from Normann Copenhagen:

Norm 06: Designed by Simon Karkov

Another sculptural lamp shade with its own expression. Inspired by nature and more specifically by Lilies and Water Lilies, the Norm 06 pendant light nicely follows the Danish design tradition for lamp shades with its shielding of the bulb and the soft light it produces.

Norm 69: Designed by Simon Karkov

Designed in 1969 by Simon Karkov, the Norm 69 lampshade is fast becoming another Danish design classic. Its attractive, functional and affordable contemporary design has won awards at Formland Award 2002 in Denmark and Imm Cologne 2003 in Germany. Norm 69 also happens to be the first product ever produced by Normann Copenhagen back in 2002
