The Clam pendant lamp by Fritz Hansen is Danish design studio Ahm & Lund's interpretation of a seashell hiding a pearl - in this case, the pearl is the light source.
The lamp was first featured in the Danish television show "Danmarks næste klassiker" in 2019, where it was chosen as the winner in the lighting category. In this episode, the contestants were tasked with designing a pendant lamp that could be used above a dining table.
The opal glass dome of the Clam pendant lamp filters the light diffusely and softly, giving the lamp a timeless, elegant look, which is complemented by the softly shimmering brass details. The brass decorations are not only beautiful but also have a practical function, since the screw at the bottom of the luminaire allows you to open the dome, revealing the light source hidden inside. This results in a beam of light that shines over your dining table, which does not dazzle and creates a beautiful atmosphere.
