Designed by Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup in 1968, it won first prize in a competition held by the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, and quickly became a best-selling Danish design. Crafted with precision, the pendant features a crescent frame made of hand-spun aluminum and an enamelled metal shade with a distinctive arch shape. This shade produces a diffused, cone-shaped light, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere over a dining table or workspace. The Semi Pendant Light is versatile, fitting equally well in modern and contemporary spaces, adding subtle sophistication. It offers glare-free illumination ideal for dining tables and kitchen islands. The shade's harmonious, concave curved shape and shiny brass finish lend warmth to the emitted light, supporting a pleasant ambiance, especially as a light source above a table. The design is based on two quarter-circles put together back-to-back to create an iconic silhouette.
The GUBI Semi Pendant Light in Gold is ideal for those seeking to enhance their space with a blend of elegant design and functional lighting. This award-winning luminaire provides warm, diffused light, perfect for dining areas or workspaces. Note that while its design is timeless, its installation requires careful attention to ceiling suitability.
