Triangle shape and the arch opening

The Above pendant shows a graphic triangle in its silhouette, which gives a pleasant downward light. The arch-shaped opening at the top gives the pendant its name; it reveals the cord and sends a discreet upward light that adds a subdued ambience. The matte, white-painted inside of the cone helps the light spread evenly.

Simple graphic silhouettes

Mads Odgård's approach begins with the function of the design: a drawing of a room, worked with simple graphic silhouettes. Above is manufactured in Denmark and crafted in aluminium with a matt, painted finish.
