utzon ju1 pendant lamp
Design Jørn Utzon, 1947
Lacquered aluminum or brass
Made by &Tradition
To Jørn Utzon, his father's naval engineering drawings became a lifelong fascination with ships and boats, along with light. More than a decade before Jørn Utzon created his masterpiece, the Sydney Opera House, he put his childhood fascination into this pendant, Utzon JU1, combining successfully the smoothness of the lines of a ship with the source of light for the first time.
One of the most influential Danish architects of the 20th century, Jørn Utzon is best-known for designing the Sydney Opera House in the 1960s, an impressive building where the façade appears different from any given angle and 197 foot semi-curves open out towards the harbor, exemplifies his organic concept of architecture and expressive sculptural style. Jørn Utzon's fascination with architectural legends from the Mayan, Moroccan and Asian cultures led to what he termed "Additive Architecture".
The JU1 Pendant requires 1x 40W E27 bulb.
8.7" diameter | 9.1" h | cord: 118"
