During his work in creating the Concert pendant lamp, Jørn Utzon sought to develop a pendant with a pure and organic idiom of design.
His idea was to use several different shades, and to strengthen the design further with upward illumination from the lamp. The chosen shade configuration is visually characteristic of Jørn Utzon and reminds us of his greatest work, the famous Sydney Opera House.
The Concert Pendant is built up of four shades and a parabola made of drawn steel, which is mounted on a glass suspension of triple-layer, hand-blown opal glass. The suspension unit sends out a pleasant, even light between the shades.
At the same time, it illuminates the two upward shades and part of the cord. The bottom shade casts light downward to the parabola, which then diffuses it. The parabola not only softens the light, but prevents glare – regardless of the height of the lamp.
Concept is manufactured by Fritz Hansen and gives a pleasant, non-glaring light without compromising the strength of illumination. The pendant adds to ambient room lighting, thanks to the light sent out between the shades.
Fritz Hansen' Concert pendant lamp is available as the larger version P3.
