Minimalist hanging light Above - a designer piece by Mads Odgård The look and function of the Above hanging light reflect a simple aesthetic that is rooted in the way its creator works: Mads Odgård. The Danish designer focuses his work on realising a Balance of comfort, technology, ergonomics, ecology, economy and aesthetics and creating products that give the user pleasure in every respect. In the case of Above - the hanging light gets its name from the opening at the top of the lampshade, through which the light, which is otherwise directed evenly from the bottom of the lampshade, can also escape upwards into the room. In this way, the soft light also emphasises the beautiful form of the final arch. A hanging light that, thanks to its minimalist design, becomes a companion for numerous modern furnishing styles. The company Louis Poulsen, for which Mads Odgård designed the Above hanging light, was founded in 1874 and has developed into one of the most important suppliers of architectural lighting through its collaboration with renowned designers and architects. The luminaire manufacturer's philosophy is to form light and realises this through products that are designed to reflect and support the natural rhythm of light.
