Frandsen presents monochromatic installations at 3 Days of Design
Promotion: Danish lighting brand Frandsen launched its latest collection during the Copenhagen festival 3 Days of Design with a series of four installations.
Titled Reflections of Light, the exhibition featured what the brand said are "fundamental elements of illumination": light, shadow, reflection, and form.

"The founder, Benny Frandsen, was a pioneer in the lighting industry," said the brand. "He was known for his innovative designs and commitment to quality craftsmanship.".
"Today, Frandsen continuously honour his legacy while collaborating with new and emerging designers who bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the collections," it added.
Located at Copenhagen's historic Lindencrone Palais, the series of installations used a black and white colour palette to accentuate light and dark elements.

This concept informed the creation of the Nova lamp, which saw its designer Esben Bala Skouboe "play with light and shadow to a degree that I have not experienced before," Bala Skouboe said.
"It is round in its basic shape, but is drawn with inspiration from nature's complex mathematical formulas and is built around the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence. By using this mathematical formula, it affects the viewer's perception of form."
The Nova was displayed at the exhibition using mirrors to create infinity-style viewings of the pieces.
The Ball design was originally created by the brand's founder Benny Frandsen in 1968 and has since been updated with various new tones and material options, including glass and oak.
Ball Glass has been produced in five new colourways including amber, cappuccino, grey sand, opal rose and white. It is an update to the original design featuring a perforated top referencing the original Ball design

Frandsen also launched its Rotate light, also emphasising the use of light and shadow. Designed by Thomas Albertsen, Rotate allows a variety of lighting effects and patterns depending on how it has been rotated.
"I want design to be easy to understand and pleasing to the eye, but also to have an extra dimension," said Albertsen. "Something that catches the eye and makes you wonder and associate," he added.

The exhibition concluded in the garden, which was lit by Frandsen's new Grasp portable all weather light. Designed with an emphasis on durability and portability, the new lamp incorporates the rechargeable Frandsen One LED bulb.
"By focusing on a modular design solution, we've developed a solution that ensures a long-lasting portable lamp," Frandsen's head of design, Nanna Gram said.

"Together with Thomas Albertsen, we created Frandsen One, merging all technical components into one portable magnetic bulb," the brand added.
"This makes it easy for us to update One with the latest technology, ensuring that these lamps will continue to shine for years to come, offering the option to purchase an updated light source."
The company stressed the flexibility of the portable lamps in not needing to be moved when they need to be charged, allowing it to switch between two light sources and remaining always lit.
