Designer pendant lamp Swirl 2 in Scandinavian design Spiral or swirl-shaped, as the name Swirl suggests, is the shape of the lampshade of this pendant lamp from Denmark. Simple, Scandinavian design is just as fashionable today as it clearly was many decades ago. At the beginning of the 20th century, a well-known Danish family of architects and designers began producing special folding shades for lights by hand. The models from the early days of the company, which the family then founded in 1943, are still in the Danish manufacturer's range today and are extremely popular. The Swirl hanging light is a newer model that designer Øivind Slaatto has developed in recent years. Inspired by the shape of a snail shell and true to his motto that light, form and function should go hand in hand in a light, the Swirl series was created. The plastic shade allows the light to escape through the gaps, not only bathing the room in general light but also creating interesting lighting effects.
