FRITZ HANSEN Night Owl table lamp smoke white ash
Night Owl™ table lamp with ash wood base - Design: Nicholai Wiig Hansen The Night Owl™ table lamp is equipped with a conical base made of ash wood, on which sits a rotatable shade made of aluminium, with which the light direction can be adjusted at will to suit personal lighting needs. Its aesthetic design looks very decorative in any place, be it on a bedside table, a side table in the living room or on a dresser. Night Owl™ emits its light in an indirect manner and immerses the surroundings in a soft lighting mood that contributes decisively to a cosy ambience. Nicholai Wiig Hansen, who founded his own design studio in 1990 - at the age of 26 - and has since created a number of well-known designs, such as the "Jules" desk chair, the "PS" cabinet, the "Sintra" table and the "Geo" thermos flask, created this simple yet extravagant light source. In his designs, he attaches great importance to a well thought-out proportion and colour concept and only adds details if they have a practical or aesthetic benefit. The Danish company FRITZ HANSEN produces the Night Owl™ table lamp. The company's history began in 1872 with the carpenter Fritz Hansen from Nakskov, who obtained a trading license for Copenhagen and subsequently established his own business, where he and later his son Christian produced furniture and other furnishings of high quality, which earned them a high reputation as well as important commissions such as furnishing the University Library and the City Hall in Copenhagen. Through collaboration with well-known designers such as Bruno Mathsson, Jo Hammerborg, Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner and Grethe Mayer, the company has achieved a high reputation beyond the borders of Denmark in its almost 150-year history. Since 1979, FRITZ HANSEN has been 75 % owned by Skandinavisk Holding.
