The classics are back

Like a piece of music by a great composer, a classic Danish lamp remains timeless and loved for decades after it was first created.

Which is why the Lollipop Shoppe in Britain is on our list of must-see stores. Right now, they’re reintroducing some of the most loved Scandinavian light designs by the world’s most revered architects and designers under the Pandul Danish lighting collection.

Giving no hint to the decade they were designed in, these lights and lamps still appeal to the modern aesthetic. We’re totally fascinated with the Swing VIP’s architectural qualities, which made the front page of architectural magazines around the world. Designed by Joergen Gammelgaard, it’s handmade in aluminium with a solid steel base. 

Another of Joergen Gammelgaard’s masterpieces, Tip Top, is also on offer. Made in the 1960s, the wall and pendant lights are most celebrated for the elegant gap between the shade and the socket house. Sleek and simple, this is a perfect example of cool Scandinavian minimalism.

Henning Koppel’s famous Bubi pendant and floor lamps have also been reissued. First launched in the 1970s, the lights have been given a modern twist with a chrome top and textile cords in several colours.

For a futuristic look, that will remain convincing in years to come, we’d choose Hans J. Wegner’s Opala. Used in public and private spaces around the globe, the high-gloss acrylic and painted aluminium top is still a testament to quality and style synonymous with Scandinavian design.

These lights and more are available for purchase at the Lollipop Shoppe online store.
