Super-egg Opal/Red Cable 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 300 Opal/Red Cable has a height of 30 cm and a diameter of 25 cm, making it the largest of the three sizes. The simple pendant is often seen in smaller groups of 2-3 differently sized lamps, or in a straight line where they contribute to a neat and sophisticated expression.
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.
