Dahl pendant lamp

Dahl designed the lamp in 1956 and installed it in the renovated Norwegian Parliament building two years later. Although Dahl is a classic mid-century design, its minimal form and smooth, unembellished surfaces still have a contemporary appearance today. The shade is made from mouth-blown glass and etched by a surface treatment that creates a smooth matt finish. The shade attaches to a metal disc at the top and makes space for a pair of concentric rings to slot into the opening down below.
