Northern Snowball Table Lamp
SNOWBALL TABLE LAMP
SNOWBALL TABLE LAMP
Designed by Trond Svendgård 2005
Snowball is a modern take on the classic Bauhaus lamp, revealing how the Futurist and Cubist styles of the Interwar period continue to appear contemporary today.
The lamp’s metal stem is anchored to a streamlined base comprised of rectangular shapes, rising upwards to hold a lampshade made from frosted glass at the top.
The lampshade rests in a disc-shaped plinth, balancing the strict angles of the base with a perfect, round globe that emanates soft light.
Made in two versions, Snowball is available as a table lamp and floor lamp. The lamp’s streamlined, minimalistic design complements a wide variety of interiors, with its strong geometric shapes adding a distinctively masculine element.
A pair of Snowball table lamps can create a sense of balance, or unify a part of the interior as they ‘book end’ the space between them. The floor lamp adds elegance and a sense of scale, while providing a practical light source. Snowball’s sleek design is timeless and sophisticated, and seems likely to continue to appeal for decades to come.
DESIGNER
TROND SVENDGÅRD
One of Norway’s most acclaimed chefs, Trond has always had an appreciation for aesthetics.
His links with Northern were forged at the very beginning, when he became one of the original four founders of the company.
At the time, Trond and the other founders considered the Norwegian design industry to be rich in potential, but somewhat bankrupt in innovation.
Together, they set out to revitalise the industry by reintroducing classic designs and rethinking the roles that everyday objects can play.
The new brand was launched with the spectacular Snowball light Trond designed, which fused some of the colours, textures and shapes associated with the Bauhaus period into a uniquely timeless lamp.
Trond’s Snowball light continues to be one of Northern’s most popular designs, setting the tone for many more lighting innovations to come.
