Calabash P1 pendant lamp

The Calabash P1 pendant lamp from Fritz Hansen bears a uniquely distinct shape, a figure reminiscent of a supple calabash gourd. The striking design comes from the Danish design studio Komplot Design who created the concept in 2010.

The calabash gourd has been used throughout human history to store and distribute vital necessities such as water, food and medicine. The Calabash P1 pendant lamp continues this tradition with light — it radiates luminescence and well-being for all those under its gentle glow. Its soft shape creates a feeling of harmony, even when the light is switched off. Its placid reflection serves to amplify the reflected light for a more brilliant glow without over-dazzling the room. It features a mirror-shiny surface of aluminium and chrome that has been lacquered by hand over several phases to give it a distinct and elegant finish.

The Calabash lamp is an absolute marvel in its own right — a truly eye-catching interior detail, one that pairs brilliantly with many different styles and colours of home decor. Well-placed in any room, the Calabash P1 pendant lamp creates something so sophisticated in its elegance it is akin to having a functional art installation right in your own home.
