The Normann Copenhagen Klip Lamp uses clean geometric shapes and innovative design cues to create an innovative and versatile piece, perfectly suited for a wide variety of different settings. The base and conical shade are secured together by two turning joints, allowing the light to be angled in any given direction. The addition of a clamp to the rear allows it to be mounted to any conceivable flat surface, with the mobility of the shade allowing you to quickly switch from direct to indirect light. Simon Legald’s Klip Lamp is perfect for use as a task lamp, or mounted to a bedside table as a stylish reading light.
Simon Legald studies design at the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and will graduate in the Summer of 2012. His work consists of both small- and large scale products.
“Honesty is what makes a product understandable, and is what describes functionality of the products. If you understand the product, it doesn’t need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological- and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects, and makes them trustworthy. In my designs I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression.”
