DESIGNED IN 2023
MEMOIR
MEMOIR is a product family designed by GamFratesi based on a modern take and interpretation of the classic chandelier. At the heart of the design is the gently shaped opal glass shade that evokes a historical typology and romantic spirit. The linear metal structures compose a graphic outline that allows it to be connected in numerous compositions. The simplistic ingenuity of the MEMOIR lighting system bridges decorative details of the past and a sculptural silhouette intended for modern spaces.


Designed by GamFratesi
The MEMOIR series originates from the idea of creating a concept with an essential element that could be extended to various compositions while maintaining a clear design identity. GamFratesi explains, "We have always been fascinated by chandeliers – and we wanted to work with a modular concept that maintained a decorative sense without losing its simplicity and great functionality."

NINOTCHKA
NINOTCHKA is a genuine and easily recognizable design icon, designed by Bent Karlby in 1954.

PAN
The PAN series is a beautiful example of Bent Karlby’s unique talent for capturing the zeitgeist of an area and turning it into designs that would come to transcend their inspiration. During the 1970s, when Pop Art was trending, the early PAN lamps would have colored insides. Today, the fixtures have monochrome surfaces of anodized aluminum, transforming them into contemporary design pieces suitable for modern living.

GOTHIC
Quite surprisingly, only limited information still exists about the series, making GOTHIC an intriguing bit of Danish design mystery. The GOTHIC name was a reference by Bent Karlby to the gothic architectural style that flourished throughout Europe from the 12th to the 16th century, which was characterized by tall narrow structures with pointed arches.
