Until The Light Takes Us: A Norwegian Black Pendant Lamp

October 21, 2013

If you know anything about the Norwegian black metal music scene of the 1990s, you have a sense of the way the lightless months of the Nordic winter can give rise to a dark creativity. Unlike these bands, Norwegian lighting designers probably aren’t practicing Satanism and burning down churches, but it’s clear that both circles draw inspiration from the same bleakness.

Case in point: í˜yvind Wyller’s In Darkness Pendant Lamp featuring a handcrafted black-glass shade, black leather straps, and bright lightbulb glowing like winter’s aurora borealis. The lamp was made in collaboration with Oslo glassworks company Magnor Glassverk, where it is available for purchase.
