Story
P. Hougaard Nielsen and C. J. Nørgaard Pedersen
Ballerup was designed by P. Hougaard Nielsen and C. J. Nørgaard Pedersen in 1963 for Ballerup Gymnasium in Copenhagen.
Glass cylinder and light
The light distribution is symmetric and directed downwards. The vertical three-layer handblown glass cylinder gives a soft light on the ceiling around the fixture and reduces glare for passers-by.
