Fritzhansen Cross-plex™ Table Lamp
CROSS-PLEX™ TABLE LAMP
CROSS-PLEX™ TABLE LAMP
Designed By Bodil Kjær
Shaped like a cross in plexiglass, the Cross-Plex is a simple yet refined table lamp with a natural ability to lift the ambience of any space.
Seen from its profile, the lamp resembles a miniature building with its translucent shade like an illuminated roof. The T-500 lamp has upright elegance.
The glowing opal shade appears perfectly balanced atop the vertical cable running through the base.
DESIGNER
BODIL KJÆR - 1932
Denmark but travelled to London, New York and Washington D.C. to study and work. Today she has a resume of more than 56 pages.
She has worked with some of the most prominent names within architecture and design during her career, including the American designer Paul McCobb.
Besides working with other recognised designers and architects all over the world, Bodil Kjær has managed to make quite a name for herself.
As one of the few female architects and designers of her generation who managed to do so, she never actually had a career plan as such. It has simply always been the urge to set new standards and to improve herself that has been her motivation.
One of her most recognised designs, the Cross-Plex™ table lamp, is a brilliant example of her mission to design with only the absolute necessary. Bodil Kjær has what she calls a problem-solving approach to design; she wants to create solutions to ‘functional, economic and aesthetic problems and she refers to her own designs as elements of architecture.
