Northern Lighting was founded in 2005, and has since
established itself as a small dynamic Nordic company
specialising in the design and manufacture of lights.
We present designer lamps and lights for different
moods that are inspired by the unique Nordic nature,
our culture and society and the very special natural
light surrounding us.
Northern Lighting is a commercial hub for designers.
The people who make our lamps include both young
up-and-coming talents and recognised designers. Despite
their different levels of experience, our designers have one
thing in common: they are fiery souls who are fascinated
by the mood-creating possibilities of light.

Aerodrome (Design 2012)
Aerodrome is inspired by the aerodynamic design
of airplanes turbine engines as well as by the glorious
tradition of modern scandinavian design of the 60s in
particular by designers like Panton, saarinen and
Jacobsen. Aerodrome is a family of lamps designed
to adjust the mood of the room towards the smooth
coolness typical of first class airport lounges.
The table lamp demands to be placed within a clear
area. With its curved, sculptural profile Aerodrome
already “fills” the surrounding space while its profile
is visually rich enough to decorate that part of the
room and inspire a feeling of elegance. Also, when
light is turned on, the laser-cut profiles of the top
help projecting curved shapes of shadow and light on
architectural surfaces of the room. When light is off the
shape of the lamp is highlighted by the stark contrast
of colors and textures between the external surface
and the flower-like interior surface of the top.
The design of a lamp goes beyond the pure functionality
of illuminating while also trying to create an atmosphere
suitable for anyone in pursuit of the idea of “exclusive
lifestyle”.

Snakkes (Design 2010)
Snakkes is a wall-mounted LeD speaking board, created
to light up the wall and to write a text or comment on
with a wipeable marker pen. Do you need to remind
your roommate to pay the rent? Forgot to tell your dad
you borrowed his car? Do you want to tell your girlfriend
that you love her? are you tired of telling your boyfriend
to put the toilet seat down? are you fed up with small
yellow post-it notes that end up on the floor? Forget
sticky papers, save the planet, express your mood and
say it with light!
Snakkes” in norwegian means “talk to you later”. it
would be something you would say to someone when
parting from them or leaving a message. Say it with
light!

Plank (Design 2012)
Plank is a light fixture made out of pure, raw wood. Plank
stems from a reference to the used and abused delivery
pallet. Plentiful in function, this thin, long and simplistic
pendant, wall and floor lamp series serves well to add
directed or guided light to a defined space in a room.
it further works well in providing a defined light strip
down towards for example a table or a desk area. the
dimmable LeD light is placed in between the two main
wooden planks, adding a high tech value to the object
and ensuring sustainability and eco-friendliness in all
of its character.
Play with Plank; place them together on a wall in a
pattern, put a whole stack on the floor or fill the air with
numerous repetitions of these wooden objects! and if
you would like to add some colour to it – simply paint
the wood!
the lamp series is available with rough cut light coloured
poplar wood planks (type “populus adenopoda”) and
with a more brown surfaced kebony syP (southern
yellow pine) wood from the norwegian company kebony
as an alternative version. both wooden materials choices
have an unpolished expression with visible marks and
traces from the production processes.

Bake me a cake (Design 2013)
Bake me a cake is a charming and playful table lamp
made out of oak wood and smoked tinted glass. simply
lift up the glass to change the bulb. the lamp portrays a
dim light.
Bake me a cake will be manufactured by the inmates in
a norwegian prison close to Bergen, through a unique
collaboration between the designers, Kriminalomsorgen
region vest (the norwegian correctional services) and
northern Lighting. the goal is to create a high quality
design production inside norwegian prisons where we
challenge the inmates’ ways of thinking and acting.
the project name stems from the classic story about
“the cake with the file” from the cartoon world wherein
mum adds a file into the cake she bakes for her
imprisoned beloved son to help him escape. the project
aims to create meaningful activities for inmates, while
still remaining behind bars.

Morten & Jonas are two guys working together as a
design team within the fields of furniture design and
interior architecture. Both are educated with a Masters
degree in design from the Bergen academy of art and
Design in norway.
the designers are located in the heart of Bergen at usF
verftet where they work with both social related work
and commercial projects and producers, often trying to
interconnect and bridge these two worlds.
We have experienced some success regarding our work
towards the norwegian correctional services where we
currently are working with how we can use design as a
tool to develop and strengthen their production activities.
With this lamp project we wanted to create an object that
has a sense of humour, a beautiful shape and a story that
gives the users some thoughts maybe, and hopefully a
smile on their faces.”

Bell (Design 2011)
Bell is a series of shiny porcelain pendant lights.
The pure beauty of archetype forms was the inspiration
for these creations by designer Mark Braun. To celebrate
porcelain as a substance and the possibilities of its shiny
glazed surfaces, the coloured surfaces of Bell lights are
on the outside, contrasting with the pure white
porcelain on the inside.
The light is available in a range of colours inspired
by scandinavian rocks and plants. Bell creates a warm
and comfortable atmosphere, and is perfect to use as a
pendant above table, bar or lounge areas. It also emits
a beautiful sound if knocked upon – but be careful…
you don’t want to break it.

Diva (Design 2009)
Diva is a set of wood laminated floor and pendant light
sculptures. By making a contemporary light object the two
young designers, Thomas and Peter, wanted to pay their
respect to the proud Norwegian heritage of wood lamination
craftsmanship, and at the same time challenge or reinvent
how this material can be used.
Diva’s strong yet soft and almost feminine character
emerged from experimenting with different curve codes,
from which two distinct sets of patterns occurred. The lamp’s
outer frame consists of a set of thirty two gently curving
walnut or oak laminated plywood slices set around two
wooden cylinders. The inner parts consist of a slim metal
stem supporting a solid mouth blown frosted glass globe.
The floor lamp’s outer frame can be turned in two directions,

Moo (Design 2008)
Moo is a full scale wall–mounted Norwegian light
moose head. Moo may be used both for indoor and
outdoor decoration purposes. The figuratively shaped
lamp body is made of poly–resin material, which gives
a smooth and transparent flow of light. The bulbs placed
inside the horns add an extra element of soft, sparkling
and translucent light effect to the lamp.
The inspiration behind the Moo lamp was found in northern
Norway, in the breathtaking scenery of Hamarøy, where
both of the designers have summer houses. Here the
moose is frequently seen passing close to the houses
and even over the lawns. The designers hope Moo will
stand out as a post–modern kitsch trophy, making the
viewer smile happily as they recognize this “king of
the Norwegian forest”.

Spiff (Design 2012)
Spiff is a small lamp inspired by old solid wooden toys.
the lamp is made out of sustainable oak, a popular and
typical nordic material.
the parts are joined together using a traditional wooden
joinery technique supported by brass joints so that the
lampshade can be tilted to alter the direction of the light
and to change the aesthetic expression of the lamp. the
matt white silicone shade cap transmits a translucent
light beam.
the lamp works well for different purposes: placing it on
a floor, on a table, in a shelf or hanging it on a wall using
the screw fasteners under the feet.

Illusion (Design 2010/2011)
Illusion combines the functional elements of light and
a table. It hovers above the ground, challenging our
perceptions of gravity and our idea of two common
pieces of furniture, offering the elements of surprise
and magic. Combined in one, the lamp and table
become the focal point of any space, whilst
providing a place for your cocktail or your keys.
the shiny white version of Illusion releases a strong
and clear light down from the shade element, while
the matt black version emits a more sparse and
diffused light.
Illusion was inspired by the wonders of the scandinavian
natural landscape. In particular Kjæragbolten, a large
rock hovering in the crevice of a mountain above
Lysefjorden in Rogaland, norway.

Dokka (Design 1954)
Dokka is a small pendant light with a clean profile. it
is a genuine piece of european post–war design history:
in 1954, this functional light icon was the first norwegian
lamp ever to be awarded the highly regarded Golden
medal at the milan triennale. the lamp, also known
as “pendel s/10053”, was produced and sold by the
norwegian electricity company sönnico (oslo) for many
years. Dokka became one of the best selling norwegian
pendant lamps ever produced, until the day sönnico closed
down its lighting production and sales of the lamp came
to an abrupt end. in 2007 northern lighting decided to
relaunch this design classic, taking care to preserve
the main shape and features that originally made
it such a well–loved light.

Designer: Birger Dahl
Birger Dahl (1916–1998) was born in 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 a teacher at sHks and
in the period from 1945 to 1957 he also worked as chief
designer for sönnico (oslo). the key aspects of his work
and design philosophy are the promotion of lighting as
honest, logical and functional. the light object must
always reach complete harmony with its surrounding
humans and architecture.

Big Mama (Design 2009)
Big Mama is a large floor lamp made out of paper and
wood ––basic and eco friendly Nordic materials–– that
are used for the shade and the body respectively.
Big Mama represents more t han simple illumination of
space. Big Mama does light up a room, but at the same
time it gives the space character and personality. its
shape tells us intuitively more about its function. simple,
direct… with its iconic and super classical shape, there
is no doubt this is a lamp. And yet at the same time the
strong, dominant and sculptural character of the object
resembles that of an item which does not need to possess
a mere function in order to justify its existence.
Big Mama lights up a space with a strong, clear, yet
warm and mood–creating light.

Norwegian Forest (Design 2007)
Norwegian Forest is a pendant and table lamp series
with shade elements made of natural birch or white ash
veneer, depicting a pine forest with animals. the lamp
draws on the classic scandinavian tradition of using thin,
translucent veneer strips. the intricate pattern is laser cut
by skilled craftsmen in sweden.
the shade is made from premier quality, double layered
Nordic birch veneer or ash veneer with a white, semi
transparent stain on the outside and white paper fleece
on the inside. the veneer is put through a flexing process
to become bendable and then coated with a clear solvent
free coating. the shade elements are hand sewn onto the
white steel frame using natural leather lace. when lit, the
blonde veneer offers a warm glow, filtering out light
between the carved treetops.
the Norwegian Forest lamp was first presented in 2007
through Cathrine Kullberg Design, and included in the
Northern lighting portfolio in 2013.
it should be noted that wood is prone to ‘tanning’ in
strong sunlight. it is therefore advised to rotate a lamp
exposed to direct sunlight, to acquire an even, all-round
tan.

Evergreen (Design 2010)
Evergreen is a collection of height adjustable pendant
lamps. In designing this new contemporary series, Vibeke
Skar and Jens Praet refer strongly to industrial evergreen
elements – creating a new light medium that emphasises
the golden age of global industrialisation and the beauty
of forgotten classic design icons.
Evergreen consists of a series of lamps of different sizes,
available in either black or white. The mouth blown glass
lampshades are sandblasted outside, and shiny inside,
creating a diffuse kind of transparency. The iconographic
hanging system consists of pulleys that are used to adjust
the height, and a wall fastener for the lamp and its cable.
The accessories are made of aluminium. Evergreen
creates a dynamic yet highly functional light experience,
featuring an iconic design that suits almost every
kind of space.

Bender (Design 2008)
Bender is a large floor decor lamp that also works well
as a reading lamp. the organic shape of the lamp starts
at the floor with the textile wire going from the wall
socket towards the lamp base. From there the base bends
and curves its way up from the floor, all the way up to
the lampshade. the oversized shade element gives the
lamp its recognizable personality and creates a large
and focused spotlight. Bender has a matt oil painting
that gives the aluminium and steel surfaces a warm
touch and sophisticated look. the lampshade is fully
adjustable in all directions, making it well suited for
a comfortable and illuminated reading experience.
Bender is inspired by the often overlooked, but
indispensable, workhorse of plumbing: the humble pipe.
Bender grew out of a desire to utilize one of the simplest
elements of production while still creating a lamp with
personality and humour.

Butterfly (Design 1964)
Butterfly is a small wall lamp designed in 1964 for
Høvik Lys and later produced by arnold vik, norway.
In 2008 northern Lighting decided to relaunch this
norwegian design treasure. Its uniquness lies in the
combination of simplicity of form and its well preserved
indirect method of exposing light, creating a bright and
yet warm atmosphere. It looks simple, but is elegant
and decorative as a single item, and is even more so
when several are combined in vertical or horizontal
groups.
the new heat treated copper versions all vary in surface
colour and materials structure, and oxidation and time
further changes their appearance, making them unique
individual objects.

Designer: Sven I. Dysthe
Sven Ivar Dysthe (born 1931) is often referred to by
scholars as the wonderboy of modern norwegian design.
He got his certificate of apprenticeship as cabinet maker
in 1950 and graduated in Industrial Design from the royal
College of art in London in 1953. Sven later opened
his own design practice in 1958 and had his career
breakthrough in the early 1960s. His works have won
a number of national and international prizes, including
the Laminette chair for møtemøbler a/S, which won the
golden medal at the Ljubljana triennale in 1964 and the
Japanese “g-mark” and norwegian Classic award for
Design excellence in 1994. Works of his are purchased
by institutions such as victoria and albert museum in
London, röhsska konstslöjdmuseum in gothenbourg,
the national museum in Stockholm, nordenfjelske
in trondheim and the national museum in oslo.
Sven Ivar Dysthe is first and foremost honoured for
his ability to find simple solutions to complex challenges
with decisive elegance; Butterfly is as an excellent
example of this.

Maze (Design 2006)
maze has geometry and symmetry in focus, with
overlapping plates in a labyrinthine pattern. The form
and elements of maze are created based on the majestic
mountains and the complex formations of stone we find
in norway’s great outdoors. The light finds its way out
at different layers and heights within the shade and
gives off a comfortable and even light in the room. In
order to complete the communication between form
and function, a soft, atmospheric light is projected
up to the ceiling.

Designer: Rudi O. Wulff
Rudi O. Wulff was born in suburban Oslo in 1983. His
educational background is from product development
and design studies in Oslo and Valencia.
as a product developer, I try, through my products, to
be daring and innovative, but I always maintain rationality
in the back of my mind. Things should be challenging, but
also have a certain sense of reality. With the ceiling
lamp maze I have literally tried to place things on
the edge by allowing a large and complicated shade
to hang in a simple and light substructure. The result
is a new and stylish ceiling lamp which will suit most
rooms.”

Oslo Wood (Design 2006)
Oslo Wood is a studio lamp with a tripod base. the
shade includes a revolving shade piece, which gives
the possibility of exciting angles of light in the room.
the lamp gives an upward solid indirect lighting effect
as well as a warm and diffuse direct light via the shade.
Oslo Wood spreads light in the same way as seen in the
forests around Oslo. the beams of light become diffuse
upon passing through the shade, mimicking the contours
of city light illuminating the sky on a dark winter night,
filtered by the trees dominating the ground below. the
Oslo Wood lamp’s indirect upward lighting effect relates
to the somewhat stronger contours of light that reaches
above the treetops.

Designer: Ove Rogne
Ove Rogne is head of design in northern Lighting. He
was born far up north in the town of narvik, norway.
In Oslo Wood northern Lighting presents a contemporary
up–light floor lamp inspired by atelier and photoshoot
lighting equipment. It also incorporates inspirational
elements from the classical and popular tivoli lamp that
dominated scandinavian household living rooms for many
years. Decisions on form, function and materials for the
lamp have been an ‘art by accident’ type of process,
during which the design team spent hours and hours
experimenting at the factory floor R&D lab.”

Seed (Design 2007)
Seed is a wall–mounted night lamp. Seed creates
a unique reading environment through its filtered light
source from a low watt energy saving LeD. The focused,
yet soft, beam emitted from the diodes makes it possible
to read in bed while your partner sleeps. The ‘revolving
arm of light’ can point in a variety of different directions
and can be easily fixed to the wall in any desired position.
The front –end light switch makes it easy to turn the light
on and off and, since the lamp does not emit heat.
Seed is safe to touch, even by children.
Seed is available with five different colours of fabric.
The package also includes patterns, tips and suggestions
on how to create your own personalised cover. The lamp
is inspired by a seed–– rising and growing into a plant.

an Oslo based industrial design office. She and her team
have won several awards for their designs. accendo works
with a variety of design projects mainly related to lighting,
furniture design and consumer goods packaging.
With the Seed lamp i wanted to create an arm of light
which lets your partner sleep while you read, nurse or
knit. i also wanted to challenge users of the lamp to create
their own design element by changing the cover according
to their mood, the season, fashion trends or simply a
change of the bedcovers”.

Berg (Design 1967)
Through the lamp series Berg the designer Gerhard Berg
expresses nature’s richness of form and lack of regularity.
The Berg shade elements have a rectangular prism shape
and are comprised of acrylic pieces placed together in
complex, irregular patterns, rich in contrast and depth.
The acrylic elements are formed in different heights.
The shapes are fragmented through sandblasted and
transparent acrylic pieces.
The Berg was originally made in 1967 by Gerhard Berg
for his own lounge.

Groggy (Design 2009)
Groggy is a funky, tiny, yet highly functional, floor
lamp. Both the simple lamp body and its fabric–covered
lampshade revolve, thus making it easy for the user to
direct and adjust the position of the light beam. Groggy
fits well next to a chair or a sofa and allows the user
plenty of space for the arm.
Groggy is a new addition to Tom Stepps’ Blueman
Collection of lighting and furniture designs. The Blueman
Collection consists of, and expands, the ideas and products
that Tom Stepp dreams of having in his own home, and
which he therefore creates for himself.
The name Groggy relates to the slightly oblique shape
of this object, with a base that almost falls over sideways,
yet the lamp remains in an upright position.

Scheisse (Design 2008)
scheisse is a large pendant lamp. The lamp pays its
respect to the traditional incandescent light bulb, which
with its warm light and good colour reflection, has given
light to our households for so many years. The classic
light bulb is one of man’s most important inventions.
Unfortunately this bulb is inefficient, which creates
challenges in our threatened environment. scheisse
is a blend of art and industrial design, an experiment
with light and shadow as well as positive and negative
shapes. scheisse creates a distinct shadow and sculpture
in its environment.
Wherever placed, scheisse will hopefully stand out as a
true icon for all light lovers.

To use this “forced” creativity and artificial finesse in
