Super-egg Red was the result of one of Piet Hein’s thought experiments. Before Hein, there was a tendency to view the earth as right-angled and round: a round ball on a rectangular field, and the round coin on the rectangular notes. In 1959, Piet Hein asked himself which combination of the two shapes was the loveliest and simplest—the result was the Lamé curve, which is the shape that Piet Hein is now famous for.
The elegant pendant is made from handblown opal glass, ensuring a soft and comfortable glow. It fits perfectly into the décor wherever you need an atmospheric light that doesn’t blind.
Danish interior design continues to gravitate towards simple designs, practicality, and ensuring the right amount of light in our everyday lives. Piet Hein’s Super-egg is a practical and lovely solution in this regard.
Super-egg 150 Red has a height of 15 cm and a diameter of 12.5 cm, making it the smallest of the three sizes. The small pendant works incredibly well in a pair or in a row, achieving a neat expression. You can go ahead and combine pendants of different sizes, placing them in a cluster at varying heights. An example could be to use the lamps in a corner of the living room to allow the soft light to contribute to a cosy atmosphere.
The pendant comes equipped with a three-metre fabric cable in black, white, or red. Choose from the different colours here, where you can also find the lamp in its three different sizes.
