Normann Copenhagen Bell Suspension Lamp

You will be struck by the elegant, understated design of this Bell lamp as soon as you see it. It is a bold attempt to evoke a more minimalist style in lighting, and it is perfectly executed. Perhaps the very first thing you will appreciate is the quality of the finish on the design.

It is perfectly even and smooth all over, and this really adds to the impact of the piece. Clean and bright, it emits light with a relaxed feel, and the finish, which is completely smooth, adds to the relaxed air. Hard to put your finger on, there is a definite otherworldly feel to the smooth and quiet finish. No drama, just sophistication.

One of the most distinctive parts of the lamp (if not the most distinctive, hands down) is the highlighting of the cord. The cord is very different visually, and there is no attempt to hide the fact that it is attached to the lamp itself. The pendant is smooth and flawless, and the cord is very visible. The two parts are clearly defined. This gives the lamp a very modern and distinctive feel. It is this clear contrast between materials in the lamp that give it that modern, exciting feel.
