This piece of pink matte paper comes from Mr Lüber and it was the colour test for making the coloured shells in Verner Pantons aluminium version of the Fun lamps. I have a prototype of this lamp and the colour is similar but not exactly the same. The material is very different so I […]

LUBER POSTER – FROM SWEDEN
I got some cool stuff today. To begin with I would like to show you an original Lüber lamp poster from around 1970. It is printed on a little thicker papper and shows the Ball and Spiral lamps. I just realised another interesting thing. This poster comes from the home of J. Lüber […]
25 WATT
A friend gave me this cool info about the Spiral and Ball lamps from J. Lüber. It says how to put together the lamps but also another info I never seen before. It says that you should use lamp bulbs with 25 watt if you want the best colours. I have used 40 watt or […]
SOME IDEAS
I am testing two ideas here. First to make the chromed SP2 into a SP3 instead but also to cover the complete wall with a large mirror. This will make the room look twice as big and there will be “more” of every lamp and furniture.
LONGER SPIRAL LAMP
I hanged the SP01 behind the SP2 to see if it would be better with an even taller lamp – a SP3. Perhaps I will rebuild it.
MIRRORS
The Mirror Sculpture prototype are in the aubergine room now as well. I will re-order the room a little. The lamp positions are not that good. One idea is to cover the wall in the back completly with mirrors from the floor to the ceiling. The room would then feel longer. Verner did this in […]
WONDERLAMP + SALAMI CHAIR
The Dux Sessel (also called the Salami Chair) is now in this room. The shapes are really cool with the Wonderlamp.
VERNER PANTON 1957
I got a nice book with some of Verner Pantons earliest design in it. You can here see the first edition of the Bachelor Chair. The book shows Fritz Hansens furniture through the times. “HVERDAGENS STOLE” are written by Erik Lassen 1957.
BIG LAMP
Just some photos to show how big this Ball lamp really is. Otis (4 years old) took the picture of me and Julian besides the lamp.
RINGLAMPS
A friend just sent me this new picture of his living room.
DODECAHEDRON
Here are some dodecahedron-shaped vases/candle holders. One of the small ones here are a re-edition but the others are likely originals from 1964. The medium sized vase has the same measurements as the Mirror Sculpture prototype in the background. They seems to be hand made and all of them have a different thickness compared to […]
FUN 0 DM
This FUN 0 lamp came the other day from an old home in Sweden. It works perfect over the table in the Salon Rouge. I will take better pictures soon.
