The gentle arc of the BT1041 Calot Pendant is the work of Danish architects Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup. Designed in the late 1960s, the lamp is part of a striking geometric series created by the pair. All three lamps in the series feature a half-mirror lightbulb that is visible beneath the shades, designed to create interplay between light and shadow. A revival of a true classic, the BT1041 Calot Pendant Ø650 is now available in polished brass and a new deep-green colorway, in addition to the original white and black options in lacquered steel.

Torsten Thorup (born 1944) and Claus Bonderup (born 1943) both graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' School of Architecture in 1969 and subsequently went to work together at Danish architect, Henning Larsen's studio. The two architects teamed up professionally and worked together for the majority of their careers. Together they've designed watches and in-store displays for Georg Jensen, the Arktikum museum in Finland and the harbour area in Elsinore, where they designed everything, from urban planning to the ticket offices.
