Clean lines and bright colors in a wonderful combination: see the Cellu series from Normann Copenhagen here!

The Cellu lighting collection is a modern interpretation of the classic folded paper lampshade. The design is brought into today's aesthetic with its polypropylene shade for enhanced durability, which rests on a powder-coated aluminum column and a powder-coated steel base, both designed with a distinctive, robust look.

The mastermind behind the beautiful collection is the young Danish designer Simon Legald, who graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Design School in the summer of 2012. His work consists of both small and large products, often created at the intersection of craftsmanship and industry. In his designs, Simon Legald uses techniques that are necessary in the design and are part of the expression by visually highlighting them rather than hiding them. During Legald's multi-year collaboration with Normann Copenhagen, many of his innovative ideas and design concepts have been realized in beautiful creations. You can find the full range of Simon Legald's designs here.

Particularly characteristic of the Cellu series is its successful combination of classic and modern design elements. The shade indicates the design's clear references to the iconic pleated lampshades. An element that has been retained, while the design as a whole has been given a contemporary and updated aesthetic that caters to modern interiors. The design is particularly characterized by its striking proportions and classical references. The base has a very distinctive, enlarged expression that is further emphasized by the powder coating's eye-catching and playful color combinations. Thus, Cellu is an obvious union of old and new, beautifully combined in a design that draws references to both classic craftsmanship and new, modern design principles.

The Cellu series consists of both table and floor lamps in several beautiful color combinations. You can find them all here
