Finished in 1957, virtually everything in the school was designed by Jacobsen, with the building considered to be one of his most important architectural works. The Munkegaard Ceiling Light was the first recessed fixture which illuminated the ceiling, creating an even, purposeful display of light. The fixture's discreet yet highly practical presence allows for it to be fitted into an extensive range of both large and small interior environments.
