Mid-Century  modern pendant  lamp "Dahl" by Birger Dahl. New release. 

2016 marks the centenary of Birger Dahl’s birth, which Northern Lighting are commemorating with the launch of this timeless glass pendant. Dahl designed the lamp in 1956 and installed it in the renovated Norwegian Parliament building two years later.

Although Dahl is a classic mid-century design, its minimal form and smooth, unembellished surfaces still have a contemporary appearance today. The shade is made from mouth-blown glass and etched by a surface treatment that creates a smooth matt finish. Dahl’s metal parts are dark grey or light green, or made in matt brass.

The shade attaches to a metal disc at the top and makes space for a pair of concentric rings to slot into the opening down below. The pendant has the same understated features that characterise Dokka and Birdy – two other classic Birger Dahl designs also re-introduced by Northern Lighting.

Dahl Birger

Norway (1916–1998)

Birger Dahl was born in the city of Moss, Norway and is considered one of Scandinavia’s leading post–war interior architects. He was educated at the Norwegian National School of Arts and Crafts (SHKS) in Oslo and was one of the first students to be supervised and guided by Arne Korsmo.

In 1947 Dahl became teacher at SHKS and in the period from 1945 to 1957 he also worked as chief designer for Sønnico (Oslo). The key aspects of his work and design philosophy is the promotion of lighting as honest, logical and functional. The light object must always reach complete harmony with its surrounding humans and architecture.
