Night Owl’s effortless design consists of a conical base and oval shade, merging together to form a single unit of balanced proportions. The organic design gives the lamp a friendly and almost human appearance – a lamp with personality.
Night Owl™ casts a warm and pleasant downward light. The asymmetric shade provides an oval diffusion of the light. The shade can be placed in four different positions, allowing the black cable to exit the lamp in the desired direction. Night Owl™ is suitable for standing on a sideboard, shelf, bedside table or in a window. The names of the colours are inspired by nature: midnight blue after the infinite blue tone of the sky at twilight; and smokey white after the glowing light of a full moon.
Nicholai Wiig Hansen has had his own design studio since he was 26 years old. When Nicholai designs he uses himself as the target group. Proportions are extremely important in his work and details are not added from a decoration perspective but only if they serve some kind of purpose.
He is inspired by everything that surrounds him and especially art, food, nature and machinery. When Nicholai Wiig Hansen designs a new product he always thinks the product to end in his head before sketching a single drawing. Everything from production to form and all the way to the end-user perspective.
