The idea with the Fritz Hansen Mingus was to create a simple, technologically uncomplicated pendant that shields modern low-energy light bulbs, provides good lighting and can be used for many purposes.
Mingus' form is organic even if it originates in four straight surfaces. The lamp's top is flat and fitted with an acrylic fixture that allows light to escape. The bright ring, therefore, sheds some faint light on the cord.
The tones of colour change in different light and take on the hues of their surroundings. If several lamps in different shades are installed, they interact with each other, eventually producing new tones.
