v40 tip top wall light
Design Jorgen Gammelgaard
Aluminum, brushed stainless steel, solid steel
Made in Denmark by Pandul & Distributed by Carl Hansen & Son
A simple strip light was the only light available for Jørgen Gammelgaard during his visit to Samoa in the sixties. To improve the light quality Gammelgaard turned the light strip vertical and decorated it with plastic lids. That home made lamp became the inspiration for the Tip Top pendant which, immediately after its presentation, was bought by The Danish Arts Foundation.
The unique anti-glare reflector inside the shade, the small elegant space between the shade and the socket house and the attention to detail makes the Tip Top lamps perfect examples of cool, Scandinavian minimalism appreciated by people all aroung the world.
Jorgen Gammelgaard belonged to a generation of skilful furniture designers who all learned their craft in the time-honored Danish apprenticeship tradition. He was the first designer to receive the annual awards from both the Danish Design Council and The Council for Arts and Crafts. In 1987 he was appointed Professor of furniture design at the Danish Royal Academy.

A workshop in Odense, Denmark in 1908, was the birthplace of the Carl Hansen company. With a fast reputation for quality work, Carl Hansen confidently took on large projects like dining room sets and bedroom suites. However, Hansen eventually learned to capitalize on scaled-back versions of his popular sellers, realizing that their strongest asset was its hand craftsmanship and rationality. Carl Hansen invited Hans Wegner to create designs in 1949, launching a mutually beneficial relationship bringing success to the company and exposure to the young Wegner. Wegner was still relatively unknown, but soon gained wide acclaim that continues to today.
