Dee: A Pendant Lamp with a Unique Signature

Bonnelycke mdd's Award-Winning Design Combines Functionality and Aesthetics

The Dee pendant lamp is not just one, but two lamps sharing the same metal top, dimensioning, and form-factor. The objective of Bonnelycke mdd was to create a single design signature that could offer both 360-degree illumination and more direct light in specific places, such as over dining or kitchen tables. The lamp comes in two versions: a glass version that can be hung high or low, and a metal version best suited for hanging low.

The lamp's unique properties stem from its design and manufacturing process. Traditional metal pressing techniques are used in conjunction with traditional blown glass, which is partly sanded to achieve a misty effect. The metal shade houses an opalized acrylic diffuser, mounted without the use of screws or brackets, contributing to the lamp's sleek, contemporary look.

The Dee pendant lamp is a testament to Bonnelycke mdd's innovative approach to design. The lamp's design was inspired by the image of a misty morning just before the sun breaks through. This inspiration is reflected in the lamp's design, with the glass version designed to mimic the flow of mist caught in a glass bowl, and the metal version designed to emit a warm, soft light reminiscent of the breaking sun.

Despite the challenges faced in creating a recognizable form factor for both versions of the lamp and designing them without visible screws or brackets, Bonnelycke mdd successfully created a product that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The Dee pendant lamp is a testament to the power of design to transform everyday objects into works of art.

The Dee pendant lamp has been recognized for its design excellence, winning the Silver A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award in 2017. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and that introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder. With its unique design and innovative use of materials, the Dee pendant lamp is a deserving recipient of this award.

In conclusion, the Dee pendant lamp by Bonnelycke mdd is a unique blend of functionality and aesthetics. Its innovative design, inspired by the image of a misty morning, and its use of traditional craftsmanship techniques make it a standout in the world of lighting design. With its award-winning design and unique signature, the Dee pendant lamp is a testament to the power of design to transform everyday objects into works of art.
