The conical shape and the matt, white-painted inside help assure even distribution of the light.
The opening in the top of the fixture provides decorative illumination of the arch above, and ensures that the fixture retains the full expression of its visual shape both when illuminated and when switched off.

MADS ODGÅRD
The Danish designer Mads Odgård (1960 to present), is a leading figure in a new generation of international designers. He is a minimalist and a 'less is more' man, who would rather deduct than add. More than anything, he believes that excellent design must be logical and functional if it is to endure. Since 1988, The Mads Odgård Design Studio, has focused on product design with the mission to improve that which already exists and most importantly, give the user spontaneous delight.
Design can be successful only when the balance of all these factors is attained and comfort, technology, ergonomics, ecology, economics, aesthetics exists.
Mads Odgård has designed and developed a wide range of products for a long list of reputed, visionary clients, both in Scandinavia and abroad. According to Mads Odgård, “design should be human and logical in form.
The design process consists of a series of choices and I must make the best possible at every step. Products must be understandable if they are to endure and reach all walks of life.”

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The Above pendant by Danish designer Mads Odgård represents an overtly simplistic lighting design. The designer himself is a minimalist to the core and creates understandable products, where function is valued to the same degree as form and quality.
“I have designed a lamp that embodies my mantra: how simple do you dare to design? I would rather remove than add and I always encourage myself to go as simple as possible,“ says Mads Odgård.
The pendant’s silhouette features a graphic triangle, creating a pleasant downward light. The arch-shaped opening at the top, to which the name Above refers, is revealing the cord and resulting in a discreet upward light and subdued ambience.
